Description
The emergence of China begs a fresh look at power in world affairs -- more precisely, at how the spread of freedom & the integration of the global economy, due to the information revolution, are affecting the nature, concentration, & purpose of power. Chapters: freedom, power, & the rise of China; globalization & power politics; knowledge & freedom; knowledge & national power; powers as partners; & coda on U.S. policy. Concludes that the U.S. need not fear a cold war with China. China's own priorities -- economic growth & stability -- propel it toward legitimacy that can only come through reform, & toward the dominant technology.
