Description
Book SynopsisIntroduces a conceptual framework of ""international order"" categorized by three levels (power, rules, norms) and three issue-areas (security, political, economic). Each contributor examines two questions: Has China already challenged this dimension of international order? How will China challenge this dimension of international order in the future?
Trade Review“Existing work in this area focuses upon what international order is likely to look like in the future without considering closely enough the current power transition that needs to be successfully negotiated so as to make it to that new order—whatever that order might be. There is nothing like this book on the market at present.” —Brendan Taylor, Professor of Strategic Studies, Australian National University
“
China's Challenges and International Order Transition: Beyond “Thucydides Trap” is unique in that it brings together several scholarly, sometimes contending, perspectives. It is also useful in bringing in non-Chinese, non-US perspectives on the subject, which is often overly dominated by views from either side of the Pacific—to the detriment of other important perspectives and observations. The book can provide a one-stop overview of scholarly perspectives that draw from a variety of experiences and conceptual viewpoints.” —Ja Ian Chong, National University of Singapore
