Overview

This book assesses the challenge to the dominance of Euro American political and economic liberalism from China's emergence as a global presence. It does so by exploring China's search for a balance between competition and integration in the global community. The paradox of resistance to global domination lies in the requirements of accumulating power locally in order to resist power globally. China presents the most significant present day example of this dual process of participation and resistance, and so Paltiel's work in this book offers intriguing insights into the elusive prospect of equality in a system of global power.
