China Risen?
This major new study examines the nature of Chinese power and its impact on the international order.
Drawing on an extensive range of Chinese-language debates and discussions, the book explains the roles of different actors and interests in Chinese international interactions, and how they influence the nature of Chinese strategies for global change.
It also gives a unique perspective on how assessments of the consequences of China’s rise are formed, and how and why these understandings change. Providing an important challenge to scholars and policy makers who seek to engage with China, the book demonstrates just how far starting assumptions can influence the questions asked, evidence sought and conclusions reached.
"This nuanced and impressive analysis, steeped in Chinese discourse and debates, uncovers the deep complexities associated with transition into a world order where China has become a major determining factor.” Rosemary Foot, University of Oxford
“Shaun Breslin introduces a bold new paradigm to China studies: China risen. No longer the rise of China, but China now fully recognized as a great power, ready and able to make its own distinctive contributions to the world. Yet this is in many ways also a cautionary book. China is great, but not yet a ‘superpower’, and whether it continues to rise remains to be seen.” Lowell Dittmer, University of California, Berkeley
“What do we make of China’s global power, both at present and in the future? Shaun Breslin’s China Risen? provides a sophisticated response to this question with a forward-looking view of how China’s global status can be best studied as time goes on.” International Affairs
Shaun Breslin is Professor of Politics and International Studies at the University of Warwick.
