Description

China will replace the United States as the world's dominant power. In this process, it will not become more Western but rather the world will become more Chinese. Martin Jacques argues that understanding China requires looking beyond Western perspectives and examining its own history and culture. Jacques introduces a set of powerful ideas to help grasp China's unique position in the world. These include concepts such as the civilization-state, the tributary system, and the principle of contested modernity. First published in 2009, this book has had a significant impact on the global debate about China's rise. In this updated edition, Jacques renews his analysis with new material and data, exploring how China's influence will be felt across politics, culture, and economics. With nearly three-hundred pages of additional content, readers can gain a deeper understanding of the implications of China's growing power.
