It offers a treasure trove of rich empirical data and incisive analysis that is indispensible for a full understanding of this vitally important subject. --Peter J. Katzenstein, Walter S. Carpenter, Jr. Professor of International Studies, Cornell University<p> When Hu Jintao exhorted China to increase its soft power, he triggered wide interest at home and among China's neighbors.

Chinese and other leaders should read it! --Joseph S. Nye, Jr., University Distinguished Service Professor, Harvard, and author of The Future of Power
