When China Rules the World - The End of the Western World and the Birth of a New Global Order

Informationen zum Autor Martin Jacques Klappentext Martin Jacques' groundbreaking book overturns conventional thinking about the ascendancy of China, showing how its impact will not just be economic, but cultural. As China's powerful civilization reasserts itself, it will signal the end of the global dominance of the Western nation-state, and the start of a future of 'contested modernity'. Zusammenfassung China will replace the United States as the world's dominant power. In so doing, it will not become more western but the world will become more Chinese. This title introduces a set of ideas including China as a civilization-state, the tributary system, the Chinese idea of race, and the principle of contested modernity.
