Greater China: The Next Superpower?

by David Shambaugh (Editor)

China studies scholars are currently calculating that by the early twenty-first century, the combined economies of Greater China (China, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Macao, and Chinese overseas) may surpass those of the European community or the United States, and that it will overtake Japan as the
dominant regional power. This volume examines the phenomenon of Greater China, presenting a clear and comprehensive analysis of the growing links between these countries in the areas of economics, culture and politics. It will prove to be a useful reference work for academics and students and
scholars of international relations, as well as those interested in the evolving regional power balance and the global effects of a revitalized Chinese economy.
