Assessing Chinas Power [Hardcover]

The topic of China's rise and what it really means for the global and regional order is the subject of intense debate. In this volume, top scholars address China's power today, compare China's power with that of the USA, and forecast China's power in 2025.

All of the authors contributing to this volume offer intelligent analysis of recent developments, ongoing challenges, and likely future directions as China continues its rise within the global community. The essays are remarkably coherent and complimentary, collectively providing a comprehensive assessment of Chinas economic, military, normative, regional, and global power. As such, this is an important and useful book for anyone interested in contemporary Chinese affairs. (Peter Worthing, Pacific Affairs, Vol. 90 (2), March, 2017)

The edited volume has enormous value in providing substantive knowledge and information, in-depth analyses, and mostly sober judgments and predictions & . the book should be on the reference shelf of scholars who study the rise of China and its implications and who are interested in the future of U.S.-China relations and the future of Asia.
