David M. Lampton, The Three Faces of Chinese Power: Might, Money, and Minds

摘要

David M. Lampton is considered by this reviewer to be the most astute observer of Sino-American relations in the United States today and this new volume is no disappointment. Lampton's new book tackles the question: what are the character and uses of China's burgeoning power? This is certainly one of the most important topics for anyone in the foreign policy business in the coming decades given China's size and speed of economic growth. Lampton conceives of and analyzes Chinese power in terms of might (military power), money (economic power), and minds (ideational or soft power), devoting a chapter to each.
