Trade paperback. Condition: Very good. Fifth printing [stating]. xxii, 269, [1] pages. Notes. Figures. Tables. Boxes. Foreword to the paperback edition. Map. Chronology of Main Events. Bibliography. About the Authors. Dr. C. Fred Bergsten is one of the world's most widely cited economists, he is the Nonresident Senior Fellow and Director Emeritus of the Peterson Institute for International Economics (PIIE), which he founded in 1981. Charles Freeman is a former holder of the Freeman Chair in China Studies at the Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS). Dr. Nicholas R. Lardy is a Senior Fellow at PIIE, he is a globally recognized authority on the Chinese economy. Derek J. Mitchell is a former Senior Fellow and Director of the Asia Division at CSIS. China has emerged as an economic powerhouse (projected to have the largest economy in the world in a little over a decade) and is taking an ever-increasing role on the world stage. China's Rise: Challenges and Opportunities will help the United States and the rest of the world better comprehend the facts and dynamics underpinning China's rise an understanding that becomes more and more important with each passing day. Additionally, the authors suggest actions both China and the United States can take that will not only maximize the opportunities for China's constructive integration into the international community but also help form a domestic consensus that will provide a stable foundation for such policies. Filled with facts for policymakers, this much anticipated book's narrative-driven, accessible style will appeal to the general reader. This book is unique in that it analyzes the authoritative data on China's economy, foreign and domestic policy, and national security. The expert judgments in this book paint a picture of a China confronting domestic challenges that are in many ways side effects of its economic successes, while simultaneously trying to take advantage of the foreign policy benefits of those same successes. China's Rise: Challenges and Opportunities from The China Balance Sheet Project, a joint, multiyear project of the Center for Strategic and International Studies and the Peterson Institute, discusses China's military modernization, China's increasing soft power influence in Asia and around the world, China's policy toward Taiwan, domestic political development, Beijing's political relations with China's provincial and municipal authorities, corruption and social unrest, rebalancing China's economic growth, the exchange rate controversy, energy and the environment, industrial policy, trade disputes, and investment issues. This book is part of the CSIS-IIE China Balance Sheet project.…

There's lots here, but clearly presented, with a great chronology." - Library Journal. "China is a country of compleixty and contradiction. It has become an economic powerhouse and an increasingly influential global player, raising the prospect that it will be a future rival to the United States in world affairs. At the same time, China's unbalanced growth fuels unsustainabilities and inequities in its political and social system, raising longer term questions about its domestic stability. Abroad, China is widely welcomed as an engine of economic growth, even as its military modernizes and its increasing footprint creates palpable discomfort about its impact on global stability and the international system. For Americans and others in the international community, coping with the rise of China has emerged as the key challenge of the 21st century. Formulating an effective strategy to do so, however, demands a far richer and more nuanced understanding of China's fundamental social, political, and economic context than that shaping the current public debate in the United States and elsewhere. China's Rise: Challenges and Opportunities is the latest book from a multi-year project launched by two of the world's preeminent public policy research institutions, the Peterson Institute for International Economics and the Center for Strategic and International Studies. It examines the critical facts and dynamics underpinning China's rise and suggests policy responses that will maximize the opportunities for China's constructive integration into the international community. The first book from the project, China: The Balance Sheet, has become a standard reference for policymakers, journalists, and students around the world. It fulfilled and unmistakable need for authoritative and balanced discussion of China's contemporary economic, military, political, social, and international policies and perspectives. It hs been widely quoted by top officials of both governments, including US Secretary of the Treasury Henry M. Paulson and China's former Vice Premier Wu Yi. This new book seeks to take the analysis several important steps further, connecting China's development directly to US and global interests and offering a series of possible policy responses." - from the inner front and rear jacket flaps.
