China’s Rise and Changing Order in East Asia (Politics and Development of Contemporary China) - Softcover

“The Rise of China and Changing Order in East Asia is a timely and important contribution to our understanding of the seismic shift in the regional balance of power in East Asia and the profound consequences created by the rise of China.  Through their sophisticated analysis and insights, Professor Arase and his colleagues probe the underlying drivers of interstate relations in East Asia and identify the geopolitical fault-lines that could precipitate great power conflict in the world’s most dynamic region.  It should be a required text for students of East Asian politics and policy-makers.” (Minxin Pei, Professor of Government, Claremont McKenna College, USA and author of China’s Crony Capitalism (2016))

“A serious attempt has been made through this volume to present a comprehensive overview of several political, economic and strategic issues featuring 21st century China and the Asia Pacific powers. Addressing these, the contributors have eclectically conceived their arguments and presented with strong analytical acuity. These merit wide readership and policy makers, academics and students alike will find the volume an essential reading as they study the changing regional dynamics.” (Vijay Sakhuja, Director, National Maritime Foundation, India)
