During four decades of fast-paced economic growth, China's ascent has reverberated across the full social spectrum, from international relations to technology, from trade to global health, from academia to climate change. Despite disrupting the long-established cultural and political constructs of the postwar liberal international order, Beijing's power remains uneven and limited internationally, whereas the rise of China has been the object of much frenzied reaction within Western civil society. The hostility and new cold war with the United States is a major factor in fuelling debate and speculation.

This book explores the uncertainties and dilemmas China's 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. It interprets the rise of China through the lenses of global politics and the uneven and combined development of capitalism and its encounter with the authoritarian, one-party system of the Chinese polity.

Industry Reviews

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 us. So 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.
