Grand Strategy and the Rise of China by Zeno Leoni

Grand Strategy and the Rise of China by Zeno Leoni

This book explores the uncertainties and dilemmas Chinas rise has fuelled for both the US-sponsored liberal order and the Chinese communist elites that are responsible. It provides the tools to understand the contemporary political and media turmoil about China, its causes and its trajectories.

To most westerners, China is like quantum mechanics: the few who really understand it are often not good at explaining it to the rest of usSo this up-to-the-minute, scholarly but accessible guide to thinking through the number one geopolitical issue of the next decade is greatly to be welcomed.

-- Stephen Bradley, former British Minister in Beijing and Consul General to Hong Kong

The US–China relationship is highly significant yet fast-changing. Zeno Leoni's analysis of it is brilliantly clear and full of insights: drawing on history and geopolitics, he shows that the two countries are locked in a complex combination of dependency and confrontation. Stimulating and thoughtful.

-- Rana Mitter, Professor of the History and Politics of Modern China, University of Oxford

The aim of this book is to help Western citizens reflect critically on China with a sober, historically and theoretically informed view of the drivers and implications of its rise… informed by his research on China and extensive archival work, Leoni goes beyond Western-centrism and presents a diverse world order in which China and the rest of the world have co-existed… the author does a remarkable job … his analysis of the tensions between sovereignty and globalization and between economic and security interests is particularly informative and insightful.
