He is a visiting senior fellow at the London School of Economics, IDEAS, a centre for the study of international affairs, diplomacy and grand strategy, and a visiting research fellow at the LSE’s Asia Research Centre. He is a columnist for the Guardian and the New Statesman.
His interest in East Asia began in 1993 with a holiday in China, Hong Kong, Singapore and Malaysia. After that, he found every reason or excuse he could find to spend time in the region, be it personal, for newspaper articles or television programmes. The most important of these was meeting his wife-to-be, Harinder Veriah, in Malaysia in 1993 who then came to live with him in England the following year. His research on the book started in earnest when he went to live in Hong Kong with his wife and nine-week old son Ravi in 1998. During the following year he travelled extensively in China, Japan and Taiwan but his work on the book was interrupted by the tragic death of his wife on January 2, 2000 at the age of 33. He stayed on living in Hong Kong with his son until March 2001, fighting for an inquest into his wife’s death and then helping to initiate a campaign for the introduction of anti-racist legislation which was finally successful in 2008.
He eventually resumed work on the book in 2005. He was a visiting professor at the International Centre for Chinese Studies at Aichi University in Nagoya and later a visiting professor at Ritsumeikan University in Kyoto. In 2005-6 he was a visiting professor at Renmin University, Beijing and in 2006 a visiting senior research fellow at the Asia Research Institute, National University of Singapore. He completed the final manuscript for the book in December 2008.
Born in Coventry in 1945, he took a first class honours degree at Manchester University followed by a masters degree. He then went to Cambridge University, where he was a member of King’s College, and took a PhD. He subsequently held a lectureship in the Department of Economic and Social History at Bristol University
Starred Review. A convincing economic, political and cultural analysis of waning Western dominance and the rise of China and a new paradigm of modernity. Jacques (The Politics of Thatcherism) takes the pulse of the nation poised to become, by virtue of its scale and staggering rate of growth, the biggest market in the world. Jacques points to the decline of American hegemony and outlines specific elements of China's rising global power and how these are likely to influence international relations in the future. He imagines a world where China's distinct brand of modernity, rooted firmly in its ancient culture and traditions, will have a profound influence on attitudes toward work, family and even politics that will become a counterbalance to and eventually reverse the one-way flow of Westernization. He suggests that while China's economic prosperity may not necessarily translate into democracy, China's increased self-confidence is allowing it to project its political and cultural identity ever more widely as time goes on. As comprehensive as it is compelling, this brilliant book is crucial reading for anyone interested in understanding where the we are and where we are going. (Nov.)

不可否认,此书书名弹眼落睛,以至于很多读者在阅读这本书之前就存在一种逆反心理,觉得这本书过分高估了当下中国的综合国力,有麻痹中国人、宣扬”黄祸论“之嫌。但出去书名,书中的内容还是相当精彩的,最后总结出的八个中西方差异,成了纵贯整本书的逻辑主线,具体会在下文...
評分此书以假设口吻的书名 吸引了不少专家和学者争论,有些人看都不看就说书好(因为对胃口),但也有些人只看了书皮就说“奉承”“拍马屁”,我觉得都不客观。 这是本好书,虽然话题有争议,但里面内容很有指导参考价值,建议更多的人都来仔细读一读!然后再下定论!
評分“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...
評分这本书的标题 When China Rules the World 颇为引人注目,副标题更加吓人 The Rise of the Middle Kingdom and the End of the Western World。所以不仅是中国兴起,还有西方衰落。 作者 Martin Jacques 在序言中说他1996年即有写这本书的打算,当时还是受了历史学家Niall Fer...
評分这本书的标题“When China Rules the World”或许有些夸张,但是内容却十分精彩、有理有据,而作者Martin Jacques作为一个英国学者,展示了一个相当震撼却又不得不令人信服的观点-这个世界正在经历着一个大变迁,文明的中心正从西方转移至东方,从发达国家转移至发展中国家,...
…這題目乍一看以為是科幻書,略驚悚,但翻開來看就會發現其實內容比書名客觀太多瞭,拋開瞭西方資本主義國傢那種傳統的觀念來看待中國的文化,傳統與國情,理智地分析,而不是一味地把西方標準往東方國傢頭上套,挺好的

评分China is a Civilization State rather than a Nation One. 突然想起董仲舒,韆鞦功過任人評說,但沒有他,漢武帝之功也許隻是一個開疆闢土的軍事霸主罷瞭。
评分中國:文明型國傢
评分故意把結構搞得很複雜,其實觀點沒有多少,例證也都是很平常的內容,有大量的文字感覺是在湊數的。
