This book conducts an in-depth investigation into cyberspace governance in China through Chinese decision making processes, policy formulation and international presence, exploring how China navigates governance imperatives while fostering digital innovation in an increasingly interconnected world.

The book looks at the governance paradigm of cyberspace in China. It examines the concepts, mechanisms and practices predominantly spearheaded at the national level by the Chinese government, and the extensive participation of non-governmental entities. It unravels China’s approach to cyber governance, why it diverges from Western approaches, and the causal mechanisms behind these phenomena through empirical research. The book also analyses the strengths, deficiencies, and consequential impacts of China's cyberspace governance policies, utilizing social science research methodologies.

A book of interest to scholars in international relations, internet governance, and China studies.
