Description

China's rise is a complex and multifaceted phenomenon that has sparked debate about its implications for international order. A closer examination reveals that China is not a single, monolithic entity, but rather a country undergoing significant transformation. Over the past forty years, the Chinese state has undergone profound changes, including fragmentation, decentralisation, and internationalisation of its party-state apparatuses. This shift has altered how foreign policy is made and implemented, often resulting in a sometimes-chaotic struggle for power and resources among competing politico-business interests within a surprisingly permissive regulatory state. This new analytical framework, presented in Fractured China, offers a path-breaking approach to understanding the rise of twenty-first century powers. Drawing on extensive fieldwork in China and Southeast Asia, the book includes three major case studies that demonstrate the explanatory power of this framework.
