He reflects on China's current rise, not as an anomaly, but as part of a long tradition of dramatic transformations and he therefore looks at many different Chinas as they interact with various world systems and ever-changing trends. He sees China’s formation of its future Grand Strategy as a creative intellectual activity which draws on the strategic imagination that can be found in history, literature, art, architecture and urban planning.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAcknowledgements, Volume ii, Horner, Rising China  A Note on Romanization and the Pronunciation of Chinese (from Volume i) List of Figures Prologue Chapter 1 Empires Old and New, East and West, Traditional and Modern, and With More to Come Chapter 2 The Multi-Front War for the Chinese Mind: Mapping the Battlefield Chapter 3 Where No Man Has Gone Before: Urban China in the Twenty-First Century Chapter 4 Empire’s Irresistible Lure: Creating a Pre-modern Polity in a Postmodern Age Epilogue Bibliography Index","brand":"Brill","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53210699661655,"sku":"9789004338326","price":39.2,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/rising-china-and-its-postmodern-fate-volume-ii-grandeur-and-peril-in-the-next-world-order-9789004338326","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
