| Synopsis: |
ChinaOCOs diplomatic strategy has changed dramatically since the mid-1990s, creating both challenges and opportunities for other world powers. Through a combination of pragmaticsecurity policies, growing economic clout, and increasingly deft diplomacy, China hasestablished productive and increasingly solid relationships throughout Asia and around the globe. Yet U.S. policymakers are just beginning to comprehend fully these critical changes. Here, noted China analyst Bates Gill provides a coherent framework for understanding ChinaOCOs new security diplomacy and guiding AmericaOCOs China policy forward. Gill offers a comprehensive and far-reaching analysis of the transformation in ChinaOCOs security diplomacy, persuasively making the case for a more nuanced and focused policy toward Beijing.Originally published in 2007, Rising Star has been brought up to date with a new preface. Bates Gill, now the director of the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute, focuses on Chinese policy in three areas: regional security mechanisms, nonproliferation and arms control, and questions of sovereignty and intervention. Looking to the future, he offers specific recommendations for a balanced and realistic approach that emphasizes what the two countries have in common, rather than what divides them.Praise for the hardcover edition of Rising StarOC [GillOCOs] analysis is based on solid research and deep knowledge of Chinese thought and behavior, and when the Chinese fail to meet his standards for constructive behavior, he does not hesitate to take them to task for it.OCOOCoForeign AffairsOC This important study is clearly organized, well written, and well documented; it is sure to be read widely.OCOOCoJournal of Asian Studies" |
