Illustrated with black-and-white map and graphs. ".designed to clarify contemporary China and advise how U.S. "engagement" with China may best move ahead. There's lots here, but clearly presented, with a great chronology." - Library Journal. "China is a country of compleixty and contradiction. It has become an economic powerhouse and an increasingly influential global player, raising the prospect that it will be a future rival to the United States in world affairs. At the same time, China's unbalanced growth fuels unsustainabilities and inequities in its political and social system, raising longer term questions about its domestic stability. Abroad, China is widely welcomed as an engine of economic growth, even as its military modernizes and its increasing footprint creates palpable discomfort about its impact on global stability and the international system. For Americans and others in the international community, coping with the rise of China has emerged as the key challenge of the 21st century. Formulating an effective strategy to do so, however, demands a far richer and more nuanced understanding of China's fundamental social, political, and economic context than that shaping the current public debate in the United States and elsewhere. China's Rise: Challenges and Opportunities is the latest book from a multi-year project launched by two of the world's preeminent public policy research institutions, the Peterson Institute for International Economics and the Center for Strategic and International Studies. It examines the critical facts and dynamics underpinning China's rise and suggests policy responses that will maximize the opportunities for China's constructive integration into the international community. The first book from the project, China: The Balance Sheet, has become a standard reference for policymakers, journalists, and students around the world. It fulfilled and unmistakable need for authoritative and balanced discussion of China's contemporary economic, military, political, social, and international policies and perspectives. It hs been widely quoted by top officials of both governments, including US Secretary of the Treasury Henry M. Paulson and China's former Vice Premier Wu Yi. This new book seeks to take the analysis several important steps further, connecting China's development directly to US and global interests and offering a series of possible policy responses." - from the inner front and rear jacket flaps.…

Store description
Vero Beach Books is an antiquarian bookseller with a constantly updated inventory of rare out-of-print books, signed books, children's books, plus a large inventory of ephemeral items such as major U.S. city newspapers going back 100 years and more, golden and silver age fine condition comic books (soon to be added), and many other ephemeral items as well as much more recent popular volumes. We have been in business for 25 years, originally known as Emerson Books (named after one of our owner's favorite authors, to wit, Ralph Waldo Emerson) located back then in Westport, Connecticut. That said, we are here to serve you, to offer you fine quality items that are conservatively described so that you will always be pleasantly surprised and delighted with your purchase. Twenty-five years in the bookselling business has borne out our stellar service oriented reputation; the only difference is that now we are located in the almost always sunny and warm climate of Vero Beach, Florida. Again, we are here to serve you and, as was the case when we were previously known on ABEBooks.com as Emerson Books, we will continue to offer our very popular 100% free search service for those hard to find books rare and out of print books. Oftentimes we are also able to obtain these rare finds at very good discounts to our customers' so it is always worth contacting us in such cases!
