CHINA RISING: WILL THE WEST BE...(V3)

“The production of this book 'China Rising: Will the West be Able to Cope?' while Jan Willem Blankert was a fellow at Lee Kuan Yew School of Public Policy; his writing shows the cross-fertilization of ideas in an increasingly globalized world. Thoughtful analyses like this are essential for promoting better East-West understanding in this new era. Jan Willem Blankert has done the world a great service by producing this volume.”

“Once viewed with fear in the West, rising China is now seen as essential for the survival of the global economy. But does the West really have a coherent strategy towards China? And as China continues to post impressive growth rates despite the crisis, will Europe or America be able to cope? Jan Willem Blankert's book throws some much-needed light on these and other key challenges that the West faces as it strives to adapt to China's growing clout.”

“This book of Jan Willem Blankert offers timely information and in-depth analysis on the consequences and potential impact of China's rise on the global economic order and, above all, the environment. For anyone interested in China and its relations with the world, this book is highly recommended, if not a must-read.”

“Since China will continue to grow — albeit at a slower pace — the answer depends not only on Beijing's conduct, but on whether the US and Europe can adapt to a new world order, argues Jan Willem Blankert in a refreshingly counter-intuitive book China Rising: Will the West be Able to Cope?”
