It provides the diversity of views on those widely concerned topics such as global governance, climate change, global health, migration, S&T revolution, financial market, and sustainable development.

Abstract

China's Belt and Road Initiative (BRI), China's globe-girdling infrastructure and trade corridor project, is a rare watershed in international affairs. It affects, whether directly or indirectly, nearly the entire world, directly involving more than 60 countries, nearly 4.5 billion people (about two-thirds of the world's population), up to $8 trillion, and around 40 per cent of the global economy. BRI also entails a rising power - perhaps the next superpower - endeavouring to build one of the biggest and most expensive super-projects the world has ever seen. If it achieves its potential, BRI could even pose a threat to the Bretton Woods global economic model that has prevailed since the end of the World War II. BRI has the potential to change the world in a big way. And yet, the project also confronts security and financial challenges that are as serious as its potential is soaring. In this way, BRI is a topic that needs serious examination. This book features chapters on BRI prepared by top international scholars who have been tracking the project closely. The chapters assess the project's impact across Asia, highlight its opportunities and challenges, and consider what might be in store in the future.

Abstract

"Most global citizens are well aware of the explosive growth of the Chinese economy. Indeed, China has famously become the "workshop of the world." Yet, while China watchers have shed much light on the country's internal dynamics--China's politics, its vast social changes, and its economic development--few have focused on how this increasingly powerful nation has become more active and assertive throughout the world. In China Goes Global, eminent China scholar David Shambaugh delivers the book that the world has been waiting for--a 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, though, China's expanding economic power has allowed it to extend its reach virtually everywhere--from 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 ambitions: 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 power--what he terms a "partial power." He draws on his decades of China-watching and his deep knowledge of the subject, and exploits a wide variety of previously untapped sources, to shed valuable light on China's current and future roles in world affairs"-- "In China Goes Global, eminent China scholar David Shambaugh delivers the book that the world has been waiting for--a sweeping account of China's growing prominence on the international stage.

Abstract

On ne peut ignorer la brutale émergence de la Chine et de l'Inde : les rayonnages croulent sous les nouvelles publications qui leur sont consacrées. On ne peut se contenter des propos alarmistes qui entretiennent l'inquiétude comme autrefois sur le japon. Faut-il en avoir peur ? Ce livre permettra à chacun de se faire une opinion informée et équilibrée grâce aux descriptions de professeurs en classes préparatoires habitués à présenter de façon accessible, à synthétiser et à pondérer. Il part des héritages historiques pour mieux comprendre la situation économique, géopolitique et sociale des deux pays ; il évoque enfin les différentes évolutions envisageables, du " scénario noir " qui verrait nos économies s'effondrer sous le coup de boutoir des nouveaux conquérants à l'hypothèse optimiste selon laquelle nous avons tout à gagner à leur émergence. Dans notre " village planétaire ", ne vaut-il pas mieux vivre à côté de voisins riches que pauvres ?

Abstract

"L'achat du célèbre Waldorf Astoria à New York; une téléréalité culinaire à Colmar ; la pêche sur les côtes ghanéennes ; l'utilisation de WeChat lors des élections australiennes ; la diplomatie des raviolis sur le rocher du Pacifique ; l'impact global du pharaonique projet des Nouvelles Routes de la soie... Qu'il s'agisse de mettre la main sur de nouvelles sources d'énergie, de diffuser son "softpower" culturel ou d'afficher ses ambitions géopolitiques et militaires, la Chine est partout à la manoeuvre. Non seulement elle s'est bel et bien réveillée, mais elle aspire à redevenir l'empire du Milieu flamboyant qu'elle a été : celui qui donne l'heure au reste de la planète. Cette métamorphose et les conséquences de l'expansion chinoise dans notre vie quotidienne, Eric Chol et Gilles Fontaine en rendent compte grâce à un récit original et efficace : à partir d'un ou plusieurs lieux dans chaque fuseau horaire, ils tissent un ensemble de scènes vivantes, de Hollywood à la Polynésie, de la pampa argentine au Groenland. Leur démarche inédite offre un panorama de l'omniprésence chinoise ; elle révèle une image instantanée du monde quand sonne midi à Pékin."--Page 4 of cover.

Abstract

Chinese Labor in a Korean Factory draws on fieldwork in a multinational corporation (MNC) in Qingdao, China, and delves deep into the power dynamics at play between Korean management, Chinese migrant workers, local-level Chinese government officials, and Chinese local gangs. Anthropologist Jaesok Kim examines how governments, to attract MNCs, relinquish parts of their legal rights over these entities, while MNCs also give up portions of their rights as proxies of global capitalism by complying with local government guidelines to ensure infrastructure and cheap labor. This ethnography demonstrates how a particular MNC struggled with the pressure to be increasingly profitable while negotiating the clash of Korean and Chinese cultures, traditions, and classes on the factory floor of a garment corporation. Chinese Labor in a Korean Factory pays particular attention to common features of post-socialist countries. By analyzing the contentious collaboration between foreign management, factory workers, government officials, and gangs, this study contributes not only to the research on the politics of resistance but also to how global and local forces interact in concrete and surprising ways.
