Opis

China sometimes shows leadership in organizing global challenges, but its role can be less constructive. This book engages students of international relations and China with a theory of how rising powers approach international cooperation strategically, illustrated with case studies of Central Asia, nuclear proliferation, international finance, and climate change.
