Overview

This edited volume offers diverse and comprehensive views of China's rise and its implications to the East Asian region and beyond. The economic growth of China, initially started in the late-1970s with domestic and rural reforms, has been increasingly driven by China's industrialization and integration into the regional and global markets. The growth and integration of China, however, has exposed China's closest neighbours and even more remote countries to its various (previously internal) problems, and the lagging political openness of China has often negatively impacted on cooperation with other countries in dealing with these problems (i.e. trans-border pollutions, epidemics, illegal migrations, organized crimes, financial management, etc.). This book integrates geopolitical and domestic political analysis of China with a broad set of transnational security issues, and includes a diversity of regional views. In doing so, it explores further than the dichotomous debate between the American realists and liberals, adding finesse to the often simplified discussions on how to deal with the rising China. This book will be of interest to students of Asian Politics, Security Studies and International Relations.

Reviews

<p>'In his eloquent analysis of how Chinese themselves perceive their country's much enhanced global profile, Jian Yang suggests that it behooves Beijing to ?address other countries? concerns about its rise in a more sophisticated, rational manner?. ?Clearly, the acceptance of China's rise by the international society is a core Chinese national interest?, Yang argues. As the Chinese Communist Party makes preparations for an unprecedented grandiose military parade to mark the 60th anniversary of the People's Republic on 1 October 2009, however, the question of whether Beijing will temper its hard-nosed power projection with sensitivity towards the feelings of friends and foes looms ever larger on the world stage.'<br>Willy Lam, Akita International University, Japan
