Klappentext zu „China's Search for Security “
Despite its impressive size and population, economic vitality, and drive to upgrade its military, China remains a vulnerable nation surrounded by powerful rivals and potential foes. Understanding China's foreign policy means fully appreciating these geostrategic challenges, which persist even as the country gains increasing influence over its neighbors. Andrew J. Nathan and Andrew Scobell analyze China's security concerns on four fronts: at home, with its immediate neighbors, in surrounding regional systems, and in the world beyond Asia. By illuminating the issues driving Chinese policy, they offer a new perspective on the country's rise and a strategy for balancing Chinese and American interests in Asia. Though rooted in the present, Nathan and Scobell's study makes ample use of the past, reaching back into history to illuminate the people and institutions shaping Chinese strategy today. They also examine Chinese views of the United States; explain why China is so concerned about Japan; and uncover China's interests in such problematic countries as North Korea, Iran, and the Sudan. The authors probe recent troubles in Tibet and Xinjiang and explore their links to forces beyond China's borders. They consider the tactics deployed by mainland China and Taiwan, as Taiwan seeks to maintain autonomy in the face of Chinese advances toward unification. They evaluate the strengths and weaknesses of China's three main power resources - economic power, military power, and soft power. The authors conclude with recommendations for the United States as it seeks to manage China's rise. Chinese policymakers understand that their nation's prosperity, stability, and security depend on cooperation with the United States. If handled wisely, the authors believe, relations between the two countries can produce mutually beneficial outcomes for both Asia and the world.

Rezension zu „China's Search for Security “
The rise of China is the most important international trend of our time, and this superb book is the best guide to it that I've seen. Broad, deep, and wise, it is simply an indispensable guide to all aspects of China's ongoing encounter with the world at large. Any politician or pundit who wants to say anything at all about the subject should have to pass a test on Nathan and Scobell's tour de force before doing so. -- Gideon Rose, Editor, Foreign Affairs For the scholar, student, and the general reader, China's Search for Security is a source of value. Nathan and Scobell successfully view the world through Chinese eyes, and provide just the right mix of interpretation and narrative. Nuggets of insight glitter on every page. -- Richard Bush, The Brookings Institution Andrew Nathan and Andrew Scobell are extremely well qualified to assess China's foreign policy. As their book makes clear, understanding that policy is essential in the consideration of virtually every issue of international concern. I strongly recommend China's Search for Security to all those with an interest in global public policy. -- Aryeh Neier, President Emeritus, Open Society Foundations Even though China's foreign policy has become more practical and confident, China's rise has generated regional and international anxiety. Nathan and Scobell probe the mix of forces that is reshaping Chinese strategic deliberations, providing the deepest insight yet into how Chinese decision-makers perceive their geostrategic predicaments and security challenges. -- Zhe Sun, Center for US-China Relations, Tsinghua University
