Elizabeth C. Economy

Recenzje

"authoritative"The Observer"Economy has written a deeply informed book that serves as a wake-up call to the United States and the world."Washington Post"Economy's book is superb. It is well-written, well-researched, and notably balanced in its presentation of China's policies and the effects of these policies' implementation."Joshua Huminski, The Diplomatic Courier"The World According to China is the best book I've read on the country's push for a new Sino-centric world order. In one accessible work the reader gets a thorough and balanced understanding across multiple regions and domains."Bookish Asia"Extremely well informed, cogently argued and deftly structured, with intelligent prescriptions."SupChina"The World According to China balances being densely packed with information and insights while remaining highly readable. The result is a sweeping, much-needed crash course in how Beijing views the world right now, and vice versa."Nikkei Asia"In this marvelous (and sobering) book, Elizabeth Economy dissects China's grand strategy: a Sino-centric world order across all domains, with military and power projection to match. Western bromides will not counter China's determination."Charlene Barshefsky, Chair, Parkside Global Advisors and Former US Trade Representative"If you want to understand the most important competition of this century, read The World According to China. Elizabeth Economy illuminates the Chinese Communist Party's grand ambition and forces us to confront the reality that if it succeeds, our world will be less free, less prosperous, and less safe."H.R. McMaster, author of Dereliction of Duty and Battlegrounds: The Fight to Defend the Free World"In this brilliant, urgent analysis, Elizabeth Economy proves once again why she is one of the most important scholars of China in a generation. With a penetrating vision for the motives obscured by the official boilerplate, she makes a convincing case for the degree to which China seeks to transform the international system."Evan Osnos, author of Age of Ambition, winner of the National Book Award"This is a well-researched and cogently written book that explains how China under Xi Jinping engages the world. It provides a convincing account of how China uses all means available, conventional and unconventional, to make China great again."Steve Tsang, SOAS China Institute"Having long revered Elizabeth Economy's China expertise, I had lofty expectations. After reading this book, my admiration for her only amplified. Thoroughly researched, Economy's analysis of Xi's - and thus China's - view of the world both engages and educates. A must-read!"Chris Fenton, author of Feeding the Dragon"Employing her trademark thoroughness, clarity, and insight, Elizabeth Economy probes deeply into China's ambitions and actions to reorder the world order. Business leaders must read this book as inducing and coercing multinationals to go along is an indispensable part of China achieving success."James McGregor, Chairman of Greater China for APCO Worldwide"Elizabeth Economy is one of the world's most astute interpreters of contemporary China. Here she examines domestic and international politics under Xi Jinping to explain why a more assertive and powerful China will raise questions that the west must urgently answer. Essential reading for all those who need to understand today's China."Rana Mitter, University of Oxford"The World According to China captures effectively the range of challenges contemporary China poses for the international order. Engaging and incisive, the patterns of behavior it reveals provide much-needed insight into the nature of China's current and future role on the global stage."Robert Sutter, George Washington University
