Review Quotes:
"Distinguished authors from the United States, China, and Europe address the implications of China's growing power not only for great power politics in East Asia but also for European security and economic affairs. The volume is especially important for its analyses of China's growing economic presence in Europe, for the effects of America's response to China's challenge to America's Asian interests on the U.S. contribution to NATO and to European security, and for European interests regarding Russia's actions in the Middle East."--Robert J. Art, Brandeis University, USA
"Tapping deep wisdom of veteran specialists from the United States, China and Europe and brilliance of newly minted experts from Europe and the United States, this volume explains well how acute US-China rivalry and weakened European unity foreshadow waning globalization and decline of the liberal international order and institutions that will be difficult to rebuild."--Robert Sutter, George Washington University, USA
"Emerging from the activities of the sharp and careful editing pen of the three musketeers Wang, Øystein and Ross the chapters are eloquently producing a novel and original take on World Politics of the last decade seen from an American, European, and Chinese perspective, all positioned in a coherent global perspective. A rich and brisk analytical wind is blowing through the pages. A must read for students of how a new world of uncertainty, of new balances and a rising Asia is occurring."--Bertel Heurlin, University of Copenhagen, Denmark
"While China and the United States appear to be two rivaling poles in the world, which pole the pendulum of Europe swings toward will decide, in a large measure, the contour of global economic and political order. This volume provides multilayered analyses of the China-U.S.-Europe interaction and is a must read in this field."--Wang Jisi, Peking University, China
