Foreign policy is synonymous with the process of continuous change. Due to China‘s expansionist policy a new cold war is brewing up between China and the USA. After the disintegration of the USSR, many smaller European countries have gained economic self-reliance. Trade and investment have become the primary goals of foreign policy for all. The Chinese navy is considered to be the world’s biggest naval power. Military might has also increased the economic dominance of China. The Covid-19 crisis has warned the world about the impending dangers of the secrecy and non-transparency of dictatorial regimes. All these issues have been discussed in the fourth edition of this book.
