China is fast emerging as a powerful player on the world stage. Thisbook takes a closer look at the country's stance on a range of globalissues, arguing that its multipolar diplomacy offers a concretestrategy to constrain the US pursuit of unipolar primacy. Many peopleassume that China will follow an imperialistic strategy and thereforebe in direct conflict with the American empire in a quest for worlddomination. Jenny Clegg shows that China is in fact taking amultilateral approach, offering real assistance to developing countriesand helping to build the institutions required to run a multipolarworld. Without glossing over China's own internal difficulties, thebook argues that its international consensus-building strategy couldlead to a more peaceful and equitable world. This book offers arefreshing perspective on China that will be of great value to thoseinterested in the big political questions of how to tackle war andimperialism, globalisation and development as well as to undergraduatestudents of politics, economics and international relations.
