Opis

An invigorating book about the debates raging within China. We all know about the fast pace of change in this country. This book brings us the ideas being fought over in the country itself -- from democracy to the idea of a 'peaceful rise'. It challenges all of our assumptions about China.

Recenzje

'Mark Leonard's detailed and investigative study on the Chinese psyche. A fascinating read and well worth a drop in if you've got an interest in the People's Republic.' YQ Magazine

'This is a brilliant, entertaining, penetrating, and thought-provoking look at what may be the great question of the 21st century: How will China's rise shape our world?' Robert Kagan

'A masterful and highly readable report on the original thinking that is emerging in China on the subject of globalization and China's role in the world. It should be read by everyone who wants to understand the intellectual challenge posed by China's rise.' George Soros

'The premise of What Does China Think? is that for all the economic, political, and military focus on China, we have not paid nearly enough to Chinese ideas, to the rapidly increasing intellectual capital that will be as much a source of China's power and influence in the world as its economic capital. Mark Leonard is one of the best young thinkers in Western foreign policy circles; the results of his explorations to the east are consistently surprising and always enlightening. Anyone who thinks about China will want to know what China thinks.' Anne-Marie Slaughter

'Mark Leonard gives us a fascinating insight into how Chinese intellectuals and policy-making elites see the world which they will certainly help to shape during the coming century.' Chris Patten
