      abstract = {This book focuses on Chinas foreign strategy and policy  toward Central and Eastern Europe via the China-CEEC  Cooperation Mechanism. It discusses the formation and  evolution of the mechanism, concentrating on Chinas leading  role in this process, and covering a range of issues  related to the mechanisms organizational development. This  discussion includes the broad context of Chinas foreign  policy, a coherent framework analysis of institution and  cooperation issues, the internal aspects of the  heterogeneity, external aspects of its asymmetry  interactions, and finally, its emphases on cooperation in  the two primary dimensions of great powers engagement and  localization. After the end of the Cold War and the sudden  and shocking collapse of the Soviet Union, the geopolitics  of Central and Eastern Europe begins to undergo dramatic  changes. Since then, an increase in public discussion in  China about the transformation from the planned economy to  market economy became very visible. Moreover, this part of  the world perceives as the gate to Europe through almost  forget Silk Road. Both factors have played a crucial role  in shaping Chinas interest in the region of Central and  Eastern Europe. Following the points mentioned above,  Chinas interests in Central and Eastern Europe are due to  several factors, including its frontier stability, national  security, economic expansion, and search for new sources of  energy and new markets for made in China products.  Recognition of the importance of the region culminates in  the recent Chinese grand strategy of Belt and Road, which  highlights Central and Eastern Europe as the essential link  in Chinas plan New Silk Road strategy. In this regard, the  China-CEEC Cooperation Mechanism has a crucial role in  Chinas Go West strategy.},
