Grand Strategy and the Rise of China

Made in America

Zeno Leoni

“The US–China relationship is highly significant yet fast-changing. Zeno Leoni’s analysis of it is brilliantly clear and full of insights: drawing on history and geopolitics, he shows that the two countries are locked in a complex combination of dependency and confrontation. Stimulating and thoughtful.”

“To most westerners, China is like quantum mechanics: the few who really understand it are often not good at explaining it to the rest of us. So this up-to-the-minute, scholarly but accessible guide to thinking through the number one geopolitical issue of the next decade is greatly to be welcomed.” – Stephen Bradley, former British Minister in Beijing and Consul General to Hong Kong

During four decades of fast-paced economic growth, China’s ascent has challenged and disrupted the longestablished cultural and political constructs of the postwar liberal international order and has provoked much frenzied reaction within western civil society. Zeno Leoni explores the uncertainties and dilemmas China’s rise has fuelled for both the US-sponsored liberal order and the Chinese communist elites. He considers how a more pragmatic approach from the West might facilitate the coexistence of these two competing societal models.
