{"product_id":"9781938134036","title":"CHINA WAVE, THE: RISE OF A CIVIL STATE: Rise of a Civilizational State","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis is a best-seller in China and a geopolitical book for our times. As a leading thinker from China, Zhang Weiwei provides an original, comprehensive and engrossing study on the rise of China and its effective yet controversial model of development, and the book has become a centerpiece of an unfolding debate within China on the nature and future of the world's most populous nation and its possible global impact. China's rise, according to Zhang, is not the rise of an ordinary country, but the rise of a different type of country, a country \u003ci\u003esui generis\u003c\/i\u003e, a civilizational state, a new model of development and a new political discourse which indeed questions many of the Western assumptions about democracy, good governance and human rights. The book is as analytical as it is provocative, and should be required reading for everyone concerned with the rise of China and its global implications.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eContents:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eNot Misreading Oneself:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA Fast-Changing World\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Unusual Ascent\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSurpassing Japan\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe GDP Paradox\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTo the Top\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eChina's 1+1 \u0026gt; 2:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe “Quasi-Developed Countries” within China\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Size of China's Middle Class\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe “Emerging Economies” within China\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWhy China's 1 + 1 \u0026gt; 2?\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Rise of a Civilizational State:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChina's Rocky Path towards a Nation-State\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Rise of a Civilizational State\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA New Perspective\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLooking at China Afresh\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Rise of a Development Model:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReflections after the Crises\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe China Model May Win Out\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShaping the Chinese Standards\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Rise of a New Political Discourse:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePolitical Reform, the Chinese Way\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDebating Human Rights\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Rise of a New Political Discourse\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe End of the End of History:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Western Model: from India to Eastern Europe\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Western Model: East Asia and Beyond\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDebating with Fukuyama: The End of the End of History\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReadership:\u003c\/b\u003e Researchers, policy-makers, general readers interested in the rise of China, its model of development and its global impact.\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"World Century Publishing Corporation","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47158547480816,"sku":"9781938134036","price":22.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781938134036_p0.jpg?v=1763663445","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781938134036","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
