'If you buy no other book on China, it has to be this one' - Alan Freeman, principal economist, GLA Economics, the Mayor of London's Economic Analysis Unit, and author of The Benn Heresy, a biography of the politician Tony Benn. 'Provides a context for understanding China's multilateral initiatives, its nuanced approach to the United States and other large powers, and the foreign policy implications of its startling economic growth. Clegg's book is indispensable' - John Feffer, Co-Director of Foreign Policy in Focus at the Institute for Policy Studies and author of Power Trip: Unilateralism and Global Strategy After September 11 (2006) and North Korea, South Korea: U.S. Policy and the Korean Peninsula (2003).
