Andreas Fulda

Germany and China (eBook, ePUB)

How Entanglement Undermines Freedom, Prosperity and Security

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

As Europe finds itself once again caught between two superpowers - the USA and a rising China - little has been written about a relationship that will have a profound influence on the international order: the relationship between the People's Republic of China and Germany.

In Germany and China, leading international relations expert Andreas Fulda looks critically at the increasingly interdependent relationship between the two countries. Drawing on examples from politics, industry, development aid and technology sectors and academia, the book explores how successive governments from Helmut Kohl to Angela Merkel have pursued ever-closer ties to China in the interests of short term economic gain. Fulda explores the danger of this increasing entanglement not just for Germany, but for Europe and the international world order.
