Rezensionen

'This is that rare book which will appeal to both scholars and policy makers. It in depth history examines diplomatic and economic factors in the context of great power competition, resource scarcity, and global influence. It has a wealth of information for future researchers and should be read by anyone currently involved in the making of policy either directly with China or in the response to Russia's invasion of Ukraine.'

Michael Hannahan, Donahue Institute, USA

'Dr. Pierri offers a careful and insightful analysis of the complexities of Western/Sino relations during a formative time. It is a subject that is often treated one-dimensionally but Pierri uses both significant historical research and social scientific analysis to uncover the intense gamesmanship that allowed for China to emerge from the Cold War as a global force economically and politically. The depth of his research is impressive and his ability to make clear sense of a very complex change in power dynamics between the West and China makes this book indispensable for students and scholars alike.'

Lonce Bailey, Professor of Political Science, Shippensburg University, USA
