_Abstract_
*In China Goes Global, eminent China scholar David Shambaugh delivers
the book many have been waiting fora 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 and it had little geostrategic
power. As Shambaugh charts, however, China's expanding economic power
has allowed it to extend its reach virtually everywherefrom 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
Asia.
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. But 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 powerwhat he terms a "partial power."
"/David Shambaugh provides a thoughtful look at the nature and
consequences of China's rise in this carefully researched and
well-written volume./" Henry A. Kissinger
