About the Book :
China's rise in the international arena is today an accepted
fact. Once known as the Middle Kingdom, China is today set to alter the global
power balance, forever. Although China's 'calculative strategy' is premised on
its `peaceful rise`, such changes in the international power equilibrium have
seldom been without conflict and turbulence.
This Volume, based on a selection of papers presented at an international
conference organised by Observer Research Foudnation, New Delhi and Rosa
Luxemburg Foundation, Berlin, is an attempt to study the rapid changes taking
place in the global arena triggered by a rising China.
More important, the well-known experts and commnetators, who have contributed
to this volume, analyse the political, economic and military dimensions of
China's rise and propose pragmatic policies that need to be taken at the
bilateral and international level.
