简介:This book considers how the international system and China are likely to affect each other in the coming century, perhaps 'China's Century'?China is now all over the media, all the more during 2008, with events surrounding Tibet and the Beijing Olympics. The growth of China is the biggest challenge to global order since the end of the Cold War. China is seldom out of the news and the main concern in the West is what impact will China's unprecedented growth have for the future? What impact will China have on the world? Part of a trilogy of works published by SUNY Press and Routledge that look at China 1849-1949, China post-1949, this book looks to the future. It screens, through the lenses of international relations theory, the various hypotheses that have been floated to explain the phenomenon of China's rise, while rightly eschewing simple, and deceptively attractive, explanations.This book looks ahead to consider the most likely results of the encounter between China and the international system. Environmental, cultural and perceptual matters are considered as well as more traditional economic and military issues. Underpinning the book is the question will the 21st century be 'China's Century', for China and the world?
