How China's ascendance as an economic superpower will alter the cultural, political, social, and ethnic balance of global power in the twenty-first century, unseating the West and in the process creating a whole new world
According to even the most conservative estimates, China will overtake the United States as the world's largest economy by 2027 and will ascend to the position of world economic leader by 2050. But the full repercussions of China's ascendancy-for itself and the rest of the globe-have been surprisingly little explained or understood. In this far-reaching and original investigation, Martin Jacques offers provocative answers to some of the most pressing questions about China's growing place on the world stage.
Martin Jacques reveals, by elaborating on three historical truths, how China will seek to shape the world in its own image. The Chinese have a rich and long history as a civilization-state. Under the tributary system, outlying states paid tribute to the Middle Kingdom. Ninety-four percent of the population still believes they are one race-"Han Chinese." The strong sense of superiority rooted in China's history promises to resurface in twenty-first century China and in the process strengthen and further unify the country.
A culturally self-confident Asian giant with a billion-plus population, China will likely resist globalization as we know it. This exceptionalism will have powerful ramifications for the rest of the world and the United States in particular. As China is already emerging as the new center of the East Asian economy, the mantle of economic and, therefore, cultural relevance will in our lifetimes begin to pass from Manhattan and Paris to cities like Beijing and Shanghai. It is the American relationship with and attitude toward China, Jacques argues, that will determine whether the twenty-first century will be relatively peaceful or fraught with tension, instability, and danger.
When China Rules the World is the first book to fully conceive of and explain the upheaval that China's ascendance will cause and the realigned global power structure it will create.
对中国崛起的探讨几乎都是关于经济的,而实际上,中国的政治、文化、思想和军事也意义重大。这本书既探讨了当代,也涉及历史,还展望了未来,值得一读,强烈推荐!
评分“世界第一,万国来朝”的盛景在当今社会即使是咱们中国人自己说起来也常做笑谈,一个英国人居然能YY得如此之宏大,如此之深刻,如此之有理有据,实在是一项了不起的功业。 书挺厚,但其实真正扣题而书的大概只有十分之一的内容,而且由于作者对中国文化所知甚浅,在价值观和...
评分 评分对中国崛起的探讨几乎都是关于经济的,而实际上,中国的政治、文化、思想和军事也意义重大。这本书既探讨了当代,也涉及历史,还展望了未来,值得一读,强烈推荐!
多一颗星给我自己读完了第一本全英作品。。。当初只是因为想读点什么,又不想看日文书便找来一读,但其中对于中日关系之间的论述个人认为还是很不错的。。。至少。。对我的论文很有帮助。。。嗯。。。但作者本身并非学者,分析的地方虽然十分易懂,但总感觉是飘在空中一样,没有一个理论的东西压下来。。。当然。。。很大的可能是我语言太烂。。。无法领略其精髓。。。。
评分虽然书名起的很鸡血,但全书真正强调的东西却是以中国为首的东亚国家在全球化过程中由自身的历史文化积淀而表现出的具有东亚文明特色的现代化。作者通过对中华文明几千年行成的文化观、历史观、种族观和世界观的梳理,找到了他们各自对我国现代化,尤其是改革开放以来中国融入世界进程的影响和塑造,那就是中学为体,西学为用(洋务派的梦想百年之后成为现实,令人感慨)。作者以一个局外人的身份,对我们剖析的如此深入,甚是难得(尤其是点出了所谓北京共识的本质以及传统朝贡制度对中国崛起后全新地缘政治和外交的重塑),书后给出的推荐书目也使我非常受用,好评! PS:这是我时隔一年后读的又一本英文书,今年的目标要在保证读书量的同时增加英文书比例。
评分有点牵强,亚洲研究教材
评分It's good to understand China's specific culture and to recoginize western value and concept of democracy is only exceptionsim not universalism. But we should also keep in mind that human beings are so essentially the same everywhere that even if China rules the world, there would be no big difference than today.
评分了解的很多还这么乐观就有些奇怪了。
