Heeft China al gewonnen?

This open access book consists of essays written by Kishore Mahbubani to explore the challenges and dilemmas faced by the West and Asia in an increasingly interdependent world village and intensifying geopolitical competition. The contents cover four parts: Part One The End of the Era of Western Domination. The major strategic error that the West is now making is to refuse to accept this reality. The West needs to learn how to act strategically in a world where they are no longer the number 1. Part Two The Return of Asia. From the years 1 to 1820, the largest economies in the world were Asian. After 1820 and the rise of the West, however, great Asian civilizations like China and India were dominated and humiliated. The twenty-first century will see the return of Asia to the center of the world stage. Part Three The Peaceful Rise of China. The shift in the balance of power to the East has been most pronounced in the rise of China. While this rise has been peaceful, many in the West have responded with considerable concern over the influence China will have on the world order. Part Four Globalization, Multilateralism and Cooperation. Many of the world's pressing issues, such as COVID-19 and climate change, are global issues and will require global cooperation to deal with. In short, human beings now live in a global village. States must work with each other, and we need a world order that enables and facilitates cooperation in our global village.

Sie beobachten sich gegenseitig über den Pazifik hinweg mit Argusaugen und reden übereinander statt miteinander: Längst hat der entscheidende geopolitische Wettstreit des 21. Jahrhunderts zwischen China und den USA begonnen - beides Weltmächte ohne ernsthafte Rivalen. Kishore Mahbubani, renommierter und hervorragend vernetzter Diplomat und Gelehrter, analysiert die tiefen Verwerfungen in den Beziehungen zwischen Peking und Washington. Mit unverstelltem Blick erläutert er die Stärken, Schwächen, Fehler und Eigenheiten Chinas und der USA. In Zeiten schwelender Handelskriege und ständiger politischer Konflikte ist sein Buch ein unverzichtbarer Leitfaden für ein besseres Verständnis der beiden Supermächte - insbesondere des unaufhaltsamen Aufsteigers China.
