Overview
Why do some countries get rich and other countries don't? Does one country's gain mean another country's loss? How do we address the biggest challenge of all: the fact that our environment suffers when we all want to have our share of the cake? These key questions in international economics and business are addressed in this timely book. Covering issues such as economic growth, the drivers of economic growth and international competition, pollution and the division of labor, the book focuses on China's emergence, but examples of other countries provide context and perspective. Written in a jargon-free style yet extremely well-researched, it is suitable for economists and non-economists alike.

Reviews
Once viewed with fear in the West, rising China is now seen as essential for the survival of the global economy. But does the West really have a coherent strategy towards China? And as China continues to post impressive growth rates despite the crisis, will Europe or America be able to cope? Jan Willem Blankert's book throws some much-needed light -- Shada Islam ""Leads the Asia programme at the European Policy Centre in Brussels, and former EU correspondent of the Far Eastern Economic Review"" The production of this book 'China Rising: Will the West be Able to Cope?' while Jan Willem Blankert was a fellow at Lee Kuan Yew School of Public Policy, shows the cross-fertilization of ideas in an increasingly globalized world.
