Inside China\u27s Grand Strategy: The Perspective from the People\u27s Republic

China\u27s enormous size, vast population, abundant natural resources, robust economy, and modern military suggest that it will emerge as a great world power. This book offers unique insights about the country\u27s geopolitical ambitions and strategic thinking. The book examines China\u27s interactions with current world powers as well as its policies toward neighboring countries. Despite claims that repressive domestic policies and an economic slowdown are evidence that the country\u27s efforts toward modernization will fail, the book points to China\u27s inclusion in the G-20 as an indicator of success. It compares China\u27s global ascension, particularly its emphasis on peace, to the historical experiences of rising European superpowers, providing an insider look at a country poised to become an increasingly prominent international power.https://uknowledge.uky.edu/upk_political_science_international_relations/1028/thumbnail.jp
