Samenvatting | A ground-level account of China&;s new diplomacy and how it could change international relations At the beginning of the twenty-first century, China is poised to become a major global power.

Drawing on years of experience tracking China&;s policies in Southeast Asia, Latin America, and Africa, Joshua Kurlantzick reveals how China has wooed the world with a "charm offensive" that has largely escaped the attention of American policy makers.

China also has worked to take advantage of American policy mistakes, Kurlantzick contends. In a provocative conclusion, he considers a future in which China may be the first nation since the Soviet Union to rival the United States in international influence. |
