It is very well written, well researched, and well argued. It should prompt a new debate on the subject among academics, policy makers, and the public."--Michael D. Swaine, Senior Associate, Carnegie Endowment for International Peace "This in-depth and engaging analysis of China's grand strategy is well-timed given the recent re-emergence of the 'peaceful rise' rubric."--Far Eastern Economic Review Zusammenfassung This book analyzes a rise in China's grand strategy for the early twenty-first century and considers its consequences for international peace and security as well as the challenges it poses for policymakers.
