Arthur Waldron 
 -  2005 
<br/><br/> Notes first that China's present period of "rise" is generally considered to be different from previous "rises" and goes on to explain how and why this is so. Considers economic developments, military expansion, relations with the USA and its allies, and the impact of China's rise on itself. This is a clear and thought provoking introduction to a complex subject.
