Description:
This Adelphi book examines the political, historical and cultural development of China's cyber power, in light of its evolving internet, intelligence structures, military capabilities and approach to global governance. As China attempts to gain the economic benefits that come with global connectivity while excluding information seen as a threat to stability, the West will be forced to adjust to a world in which its technological edge is fast eroding and can no longer be taken for granted.
Review Quotes:
'This excellent book fills a major gap in the literature on China's future. Inkster does a superb job at examining the role of the cyber domain in facilitating China's rise. ...Highly recommended for China specialists, upper-division undergraduates, graduate students, and faculty.'-- M. E. Carranza, Texas A&M University-Kingsville, CHOICE
