It suggests that a consciousness of power and overriding considerations of national interests have conditioned the making of their foreign policies with ideology playing a minimal role in it. The author views favourably the current trend of Sino-Soviet normalization, but feels that a real rapprochement between the two Communist giants is dependent more on Soviet actions than on Chinese reciprocity. A foreword by a distinguished American scholar, Professor Lee E. Rose, adds a third world dimension to the understanding of the triangular Communist foreign policy interactions.
