  • description: In this edited volume, a set of issue and country experts tackle questions regarding China鈥檚 current rise to power within the current international economic and political order. The current international system is governed by a 鈥淲estern鈥?conception of order and based on the primacy of post鈥揥orld War II rules, drawn from liberal models of capitalism and democracy practiced in the US and in Western Europe. In this context, the most important and most uncertain questions facing the West over the next decade concern how the EU and the US will respond to China鈥檚 rapid growth. Will the transatlantic relationship hold and become stronger, faced with this new economic and geopolitical聽challenge? Or will the US and the EU鈥攁n increasingly prominent global player鈥攃ompete for economic and political advantage? After a brief introduction laying out the circumstances of China鈥檚 economic and political rise and the challenges that this poses to the existing international order, the book proceeds in three sections. The first section provides competing theoretical perspectives on China鈥檚 rise in a historical context. The second section provides a distinctly Chinese perspective on China鈥檚 current rise. The third section looks at responses from the United States and the European Union, focusing on both economic and security issues as well as the implications of China鈥檚 rise for US-EU relations. This book is relevant to both scholars and policymakers concerned with Chinese domestic politics and foreign policy, US foreign policy, EU foreign policy, China-US relations, China-EU relations, international security, international political economy, and emerging markets.
