Reviews

China is in every global conversation today. Frans Paul van der Putten has written a clear, comprehensive and thoughtful account of the past two centuries as China has rise to international prominence, useful for students and policymakers alike. * Rana Mitter, ST Lee Chair in US-Asia Relations, Harvard Kennedy School, USA * Incisive, lucid and thought-provoking. This deftly written geopolitical history shows that today’s global politics cannot be understood without an informed reading of China’s past. An excellent read – highly recommended for anyone interested in international history, geopolitics and China’s place in a changing world. * Vincent Chang, Assistant Professor, Leiden University Institute for Area Studies, Netherlands *
