Zusatztext Jeremy Garlick has produced a masterful account of the widening gulf between China and the West, namely the US and the EU. As China appears to side with Russia against the West in the context of the Russo-Ukrainian war, Garlick views this behavior through the lens of the Global South. Under the guise of non-alignment, most developing countries are quietly following China’s cues. This is because Beijing has steadily engaged with these countries through trade, investment, loans, and aid for development. Chinese public diplomacy based on non-intervention and mutual respect has incrementally built strong ties across the Global South. Garlick cautions that Western politicians and policymakers, anxious to fault China on numerous counts, overlook this bigger lesson at their own peril. Informationen zum Autor Jeremy Garlick is an associate professor at Prague University of Business and Economics, Czech Republic. Klappentext The influence of the People's Republic of China on world affairs is increasingly keenly felt: in Asia, in Africa, in Latin America and in Europe and North America too. But what are the reasons for China's rise and how can the West adapt? Advantage China explores these essential questions and the political, economic and cultural factors behind the answers. From the economic and demographic pressures of China's domestic economy to the expanding economic influence of the Belt and Road Initiative, Jeremy Garlick looks beyond Western misperceptions of China's rise to argue for new approaches to the international political order, particularly in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic.
