Description

The centrality of China in the contemporary political, strategic and economic discourse mandates a critical analysis of its future engagements with the international community. Its rising economic power, potent political influence, growing military arsenal and nuclear capability has the potential to shape the international discourse, thus challenging the global primacy of the United States. This volume captures the above dynamics through scholarly pieces authored by well-established China watchers. Under discussion are issues such as China`s strategic culture, the Belt Road Initiative, military modernisation, and its relations with South Asian countries. This volume is a must read for academics, policymakers and researchers who pursue various facets of Asia’s political, economic and security landscape.
