Indeed, China has famously become the workshop of the world. Yet, while China watchers have shed much light on the country's internal dynamics--China's politics, its vast social changes, and its economic\u003cbr\u003edevelopment--few have focused on how this increasingly powerful nation has become more active and assertive throughout the world. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn \u003cem\u003eChina Goes Global\u003c\/em\u003e, eminent China scholar David Shambaugh delivers the book that many have been waiting for--a sweeping account of China's growing prominence on the international stage. Thirty years ago, China's role in global affairs beyond its immediate East Asian periphery was decidedly minor\u003cbr\u003eand it had little geostrategic power. Today however, China's expanding economic power has allowed it to extend its reach virtually everywhere--from mineral mines in Africa, to currency markets in the West, to oilfields in the Middle East, to agribusiness in Latin America, to the factories of East\u003cbr\u003eAsia. Shambaugh offers an enlightening look into the manifestations of China's global presence: its extensive commercial footprint, its growing military power, its increasing cultural influence or soft power, its diplomatic activity, and its new prominence in global governance institutions. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBut Shambaugh is no alarmist. In this balanced and well-researched volume, he argues that China's global presence is more broad than deep and that China still lacks the influence befitting a major world power--what he terms a partial power. He draws on his decades of China-watching and his deep\u003cbr\u003eknowledge of the subject, and exploits a wide variety of previously untapped sources, to shed valuable light on China's current and future roles in world affairs.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Oxford University Press, USA\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/18\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780199860142\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 432\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.51lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.47h x 6.43w x 1.34d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReview Citations: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 10\/29\/2012\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 11\/15\/2012\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 12\/01\/2012 pg. 97\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 10\/01\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eNew York Review of Books\u003c\/i\u003e 05\/08\/2014 pg. 34\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"David L.
