Titre(s) : China goes global [Texte électronique] : the partial power / David Shambaugh
Publication : Oxford ; New York : Oxford University Press, cop. 2013
Description matérielle : 1 online resource (xvi, 409 pages)
Note(s) : "Most global citizens are well aware of the explosive growth of the Chinese economy.
Indeed, China has famously become the "workshop of the world." Yet, while China watchers
have shed much light on the country's internal dynamics--China's politics, its vast
social changes, and its economic development--few have focused on how this increasingly
powerful nation has become more active and assertive throughout the world. In China
Goes Global, eminent China scholar David Shambaugh delivers the book that the world
has been waiting for--a sweeping account of China's growing prominence on the international
stage. Thirty years ago, China's role in global affairs beyond its immediate East
Asian periphery was decidedly minor and it had little geostrategic power. As Shambaugh
charts, though, China's expanding economic power has allowed it to extend its reach
virtually everywhere--from mineral mines in Africa, to currency markets in the West,
to oilfields in the Middle East, to agribusiness in Latin America, to the factories
of East Asia. Shambaugh offers an enlightening look into the manifestations of China's
global ambitions: its extensive commercial footprint, its growing military power,
its increasing cultural influence or "soft power," its diplomatic activity, and its
new prominence in global governance institutions. But Shambaugh is no alarmist. In
this balanced and well-researched volume, he argues that China's global presence is
more broad than deep and that China still lacks the influence befitting a major world
power--what he terms a "partial power." He draws on his decades of China-watching
and his deep knowledge of the subject, and exploits a wide variety of previously untapped
sources, to shed valuable light on China's current and future roles in world affairs"--
