This book analyses the historical interactions between UNESCO and China during the often-neglected period of 1945â"1971.

Spanning from UNESCOâs inception up to the year the Peopleâs Republic of China (PRC) regained the official Chinese seat at the United Nations, this book uncovers the multifaceted dynamics of this relationship by mapping out interactions in three major aspects: education, science, and culture. It sheds light on Chinaâs complex role in the postwar world order, demonstrating how the nation perceived and practiced its international role during this tumultuous period. By examining UNESCOâs presence in China during the civil war and Cold War, this book reveals the tensions, difficulties, and legacies of science diplomacy and cultural diplomacy facilitated by the organization. This book also maps out some âlost linksâ in the current narratives of both UNESCO and Chinaâs diplomacy, providing the historical trajectory necessary to understand Chinaâs current and future engagement with the organization and the broader world.

This book will be of interest to scholars and students specializing in modern China, cross-strait Relations, East Asian studies, the history of science, Cold War history, diplomatic history, international history, transnational history, and global history, particularly through the lens of international organizations.
