China International Relations

Western political discourse on cybersecurity is dominated by news of Chinese military development of cyberwarfare capabilities and cyber exploitation against foreign governments, corporations, and non-governmental organizations. Western accounts, however, tell only one side of the story. Chinese leaders are also concerned with cyber insecurity, and Chinese authors frequently note that China is also a victim of foreign cyber attacks—predominantly from the United States. China and Cybersecurity is a comprehensive analysis of China's cyberspace threats and policies.

In a thoughtful coda to this cautionary tale, the old China hand shares his thoughts about how to deal with the dragon today and in the future. Educating ourselves about the world's only other superpower is essential, he says. Both entertaining and eye-opening, Dancing with the Dragon is an excellent primer for doing just that.

Com sólida carreira acadêmica e diplomática, Kishore Mahbubani avalia os dois lados do embate e mostra como a China tem pensado em escala global, lançando iniciativas ambiciosas junto aos líderes mais pragmáticos e competentes do mundo.

In China's Next Act, Scott M. Moore re-envisions China's role in the world, with a focus on sustainability and technology. Moore argues that these increasingly pressing, shared global challenges are reshaping China's economy and foreign policy, and consequently, cannot be tackled without China.

"Hidden Champions" - das sind die Weltmarktführer, die kaum jemand kennt. Die meisten von ihnen sitzen nicht etwa im Silicon Valley, sondern in Deutschland, in Österreich und in der Schweiz. Management-Vordenker Hermann Simon prägte den Begriff für die Top-Mittelständler in Nischenmärkten bereits vor 30 Jahren, doch vieles hat sich seither verändert. Nach dem Export-Boom in den Jahren 1990-2010 sehen die Unternehmen sich heute vor großen neuen Herausforderungen.

One of the most respected national reporters in the field, Gertz examines the still-looming threat of China to the United States, including espionage, military escalation, economic warfare, and diplomatic treachery.

China's foreign policy initiatives, even the vaunted "Belt and Road", will be shaped and redefined as they confront the ground realities of local and regional politics outside China. In China's Western Horizon, Daniel S. Markey, a scholar of international relations and former member of the US State Department's policy planning staff, previews how China's efforts are likely to play out across the swath of Eurasia that includes South Asia, Central Asia, and the Middle East. Drawing from extensive interviews and historical research, Markey describes how perceptions of China vary.

Russland beginnt einen Angriffskrieg gegen die Ukraine, nur wenige Monate zuvor erleben die USA in Afghanistan ein außenpolitisches Debakel, und längst ist der Systemrivale China zur entscheidenden Supermacht aufgestiegen – der Westen steckt in einer nie da gewesenen Krise. Dabei schien der Siegeszug noch vor kurzem unaufhaltsam: Nach dem Ende des Kalten Krieges setzte sich im ehemaligen Ostblock die demokratische Marktwirtschaft durch, Russland wurde vom Feind zum Partner, selbst China wandte sich dem Kapitalismus zu.

Unser Bild von China ist verzerrt und unterbelichtet. Wolfram Elsner öffnet die Augen und plädiert für einen offenen Dialog mit der Weltmacht Nummer 1. China ist in aller Munde. Zu recht! Denn China ist die neue Nummer 1, die wirtschaftlich, technologisch, ökologisch und auch sozial(!) tonangebende, führende Nation des 21. Jahrhunderts. Es hat einen in kürzester Zeit den Aufstieg von einem der ärmsten Entwicklungsländer zu einem Land mit mittlerem Pro-Kopf-Einkommen gemeistert, der bisher einzigartig in der Welt ist.

Using granular data and authoritative Chinese sources, Oriana Skylar Mastro demonstrates that China was able to climb to great power status through a careful mix of strategic emulation, exploitation, and entrepreneurship on the international stage. This “upstart approach”—determined by where and how China chose to compete—allowed China to rise economically, politically, and militarily, without triggering a catastrophic international backlash that would stem its rise.

Nata in un piccolo paese vicino Tianjin tre mesi prima del massacro di piazza Tienanmen del 4 giugno 1989, Karoline Kan ci racconta la sua storia, e la storia della sua generazione, stretta tra la politica autoritaria cinese, il boom economico e il rapidissimo sviluppo tecnologico. Karoline, trent'anni, rientra a pieno diritto nella generazione dei millennial, e da quel punto di vista ci rivela ciò che lei e tre generazioni della sua famiglia hanno vissuto sulla propria pelle.

In Americans in China, Terry Lautz provides a series of biographical portraits of Americans who have lived and worked in China from before the Communist era to the present. The pathbreaking experiences of these men and women provide unique insights and deeply human perspectives on issues that have shaped US engagement with the People's Republic: politics, diplomacy, education, business, art, law, journalism, and human rights.

Wie die Allianz der Diktatoren Putin und Xi Jinping die Freiheit bedroht. Die sicherheitspolitische Weltlage gleicht einem Pulverfass – während Russland seit 2014 in der Ukraine einen Krieg führt, rasselt China im Südpazifik mit den Säbeln. Gleichzeitig droht im Nahen Osten auch der Konflikt zwischen Iran und Israel vollends zu eskalieren. Der renommierte Experte für Außen- und Sicherheitspolitik Ulrich Speck zeigt in seinem politischen Sachbuch, dass die Eskalation der Weltlage kein Zufall ist, sondern gezielt von zwei revisionistischen Weltmächten vorangetrieben wurde.

Joe Biden richtet die USA auf einen großen Konflikt mit China aus, es geht um nicht weniger als um die Vorherrschaft in der Welt. Das Hörbuch analysiert den Wettlauf der Weltmächte, der sich durch die Ukraine-Krise dramatisch verschärft hat und in einen viel schlimmeren Krieg ausarten kann. Die alte politische und wirtschaftliche Ordnung der Welt wird vom autoritären Regime in Peking angegriffen und droht zu zerbrechen.

Is economic—or broader—conflict, well beyond the trade and technology war that has already erupted, inevitable between the world’s two superpowers? Will their clash produce a new economic leadership vacuum akin to the 1930s, when Great Britain was unable to play its traditional leadership role and a rising United States was unwilling to step in to save the global order?

La Cina è davvero "vicina" come recitava il titolo di un vecchio film d'autore? No, sostiene Giada Messetti nel suo "Nella testa del Dragone". È, anzi, molto lontana. Soprattutto, è diversa. Perché ― continua l'autrice, sinologa, che in Cina ha vissuto sei anni ― esistono dieci, cento, mille Cine. Esplorarle è come fare un viaggio su una macchina del tempo, passando da villaggi remoti rimasti all'epoca preindustriale a smart city avveniristiche dove, fermo al semaforo in motorino, può capitare che un drone ti intimi di indossare il casco se vuoi evitare una multa salata.

China GDP has grown from $300 per capita to more than $10,000 in the past thirty years and lifted more people into the middle class than in any other country at any other point in human history. It is important for investors, US companies and anyone interested in the global economy to understand China. Author Jonathan A. Krane provides an inside look at China's transformation into a global superpower and explains why the relationship between the US and China is the most critical economic relationship in the world today.

Not since the modern liberal order was born in the 1940s has the world had to grapple with the possibility of its demise, at the hand of a rising China. Just at a time when the world is in need of the stability and governance it has had the luxury of relying upon for decades, it must contemplate transitioning to a world order not of the West’s choosing. If the era of US hegemony is coming to an end, will the global institutions it was so instrumental in creating become less relevant and forceful with time?

Über Deutschlands Rolle in einer veränderten Welt. Russlands Angriffskrieg gegen die Ukraine wirft ein grelles Licht auf eine geopolitische Landschaft, die schon länger im Umbruch ist. Der Krieg zeichnet Konturen schärfer, beschleunigt Entwicklungen, zwingt zu radikalem Wandel. Nach seinem Bestseller "Zeitenwende" identifiziert Rüdiger von Fritsch in seinem neuen Buch die Entwicklungslinien der Zukunft - und gibt Antworten auf drängende Fragen: Was kommt nach dem Krieg? Wie wird sich der Konflikt zwischen den USA und China entwickeln?
