Chinese Economic Statecraft: Commercial Actors, Grand Strategy, and State Control

摘要

China's rapid rise as a formidable investor and financier has aroused concern from Washington to Tokyo.

"Why," he asks, "is China sometimes able to marshal its economic power for strategic objectives and sometimes not?" Under what conditions is Beijing likely to succeed? What follows is an exceptional book: theoretically informed, empirically grounded and analytically rich.
