ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
This book represents the culmination of my doctoral research and thus owes a huge debt of gratitude to my two PhD supervisors at Durham University, Professor John Dumbrell and Dr Christian Schweiger. Their constant advice, help, and encouragement were instrumental, and it was a privilege to work alongside them. I thank the School of Government and International Affairs at Durham, especially Dr Lorraine Holmes, for providing me with guidance and support to carry out research in Washington, DC. Those I interviewed provided me with valuable original material, and their openness, honesty, and personal insights were much appreciated. I am also deeply grateful to Professor George Joffe for reviewing and providing indispensable comments on the manuscript. Finally, I could not have completed the work without the steadfast support of those to whom it is dedicated—my husband, Shenghui, and my family. Yanan Song
