“This is an important work on a topic—China’s grand strategy—on which we have had little serious and detailed work. It is very well written, well researched, and well argued.

“This in-depth and engaging analysis of China’s grand strategy is well-timed given the recent re-emergence of the ‘peaceful rise’ rubric.”—Far Eastern Economic Review
