This book explores China's place in the 'new international order',
from both the international perspective and from the perspective
within China.
It discusses how far the new international order, as outlined by
George Bush in 1991 after the collapse of the Soviet Union and the
liberation of Kuwait in the Gulf War, with its notions of
'international order', as viewed by the United States, and with the
United States seeing itself as the single dominant power, applies
to China. The contributors offer the implications, both positive
and negative, of China's growing economic power, and the
possibility that China will increase its military power. They also
examine the idea that the Chinese leadership is being carried along
itself by events in China, which it does not fully control, and
that other growing forces within China, such as nationalism,
increasing social grievances, structural instability, and rivalry
between the centre and the regions potentially work against China's
growing strength in the international arena. Considering
traditional Chinese notions of 'international' power, where the
world is seen as sino-centric, with neighbouring countries
subservient to China in varying degrees, the book argues that this
represents a fundamentally different view of the international
order, one where the equal sovereignty of every state does not
apply, where there is an acknowledged hierarchy of power, and where
domestic and international issues are highly interdependent.
