China Versus the West: The Global Power Shift of the 21st Century: summary, description and annotation

We offer to read an annotation, description, summary or preface (depends on what the author of the book "China Versus the West: The Global Power Shift of the 21st Century" wrote himself). If you haven't found the necessary information about the book — write in the comments, we will try to find it.

China Versus the West is an innovative book.

The author, a leading specialist on the international and Asian economy and business, presents the most comprehensive picture of the changing power balance between the emerging superpower China and the old developed economies of the West: mainly the US, Europe and Japan. The reader can clearly see in what areas and to what extent China has become the world leader, in what areas it is catching up and in what areas the West retains its superiority and has a chance to strengthen it further.

At the same time, I. Tselichtchev unveils a breathtaking story of the global economy and business in the brave new world which is nonWestled and where major growth dynamics are coming from large emerging economies. A radically changing economic environment requires new government policies and business strategies. The book contains many valuable suggestions and ideas. Using his own analytical framework, the author presents a set of options and alternatives for Western businesses in the wake of Chinas production and export offensive.

The book provides a uniquely sharp and thoughtprovoking analysis of the factors behind the global crisis of 20082009, largely different from what we see in other publications, and examines its implications for the global power balance. I. Tselichtchev vividly shows that it was not global, but Western crisis of a structural character which drastically changed the ChinaWest power balance in the formers favor. He provides strong arguments showing that todays China is structurally and macroeconomically stronger than most countries of the West. This leads him to rethinking the very essence of the Chinese model of capitalism and to its new definition. He expresses unconventional, sometimes controversial, but wellfounded views about Chinas problems and weaknesses and the prospects for its political evolution.

The book ends with invaluable insights into Chinas unique role in the world economic history, the essence of the nonWestled multipolar world and the positions of its major players. Arguing that from now on no single country will be ever able to rule the world, it shows new opportunities dynamic China is opening for the West.

Thoroughly analyzing and discussing a wide range of the key, often complicated issues which are now in the focus of the worlds attention, the book remains very readerfriendly. It is written in the form of an unconstrained dialogue with the reader, containing a lot of the authors onthespot impressions, interesting facts, remarks and quotations.

China Versus the West is a must reading for everyone who wants to know more about the global developments, China and the West, and also, perhaps, to get valuable inputs and hints to find his or her own place in todays new world. It is highly recommended for policymakers, business people, academics, analysts and journalists. It is a valuable source for professors and students of the universities and business schools.

Foreword

My good friend Ivan Tselichtchev is an internationally renowned economist and scholar who enjoys great respect and a good reputation as a researcher, especially in the area of world economics and business. The author of the masterpiece Asias Turning Point , Tselichtchev has taken a new step with China versus the West , a book presenting a comprehensive and accurate look at the subtle changes in the balance of power between emerging economies like China and the developed Western economies of the United States, Europe, and Japan.

In this new multilevel competitive world, global economic growth is driven by the emerging entities, rather than Western economies.

Through Tselichtchevs precise analysis, the reader sees the areas in which China has been leading the world or catching up with the developed states, as well as the areas where the traditional West still maintains its advantage and is likely to further strengthen its position. Along with articulating many valuable suggestions and ideas, Tselichtchev vividly shows how wise government policies and business strategies are needed to address the fundamental changes in the global economic environment. He articulates a unique series of proposals to and options for Western business communities on how to deal with Chinas emergence as a leading manufacturer and exporter.

This book offers systematic, unique, incisive, and thought-provoking analysis of the various factors that led to the global economic crisis of 20082009 and provides a deep insight into the impact of the crisis on the balance of economic power between China and the West, with their different institutional structures. Tselichtchev finds strong arguments to vividly illustrate how the structural dimension of the Western economic crisis dramatically shifted the balance of power in Chinas favor, vividly showing that China proved to be stronger both structurally and macroeconomically than most Western countries. This helps readers to rethink the essence of the Chinese model and define it in a new way. The author also brings to light Chinas problems, weaknesses, and prospects for political development.

Tselichtchevs book provides a very human and in-depth analysis and discussion of the complex issues as he shares his Chinese impressions and experiences, and summarizes the trends and changes in the Western economies impacted by their business relations with China. The author provides unique suggestions and convincing arguments from different perspectives, addressing the key issues. He shows the uniqueness of Chinas role in the global economic history and the essence of its status in todays multipolar global system where no country alone can dominate the world. From now on, a vigorous and open China is creating a historic opportunity for the West.

For all those who want to learn more about the current economic developments and economic structures of China and the West, and about the world economy as a whole, as well for those who are searching for their place and role in this world, this book is a must. In particular, it is a valuable resource for policy makers, businesspeople, and experts and scholars in the economic fields, as well as for educational institutions and for mass media people.

Ivan Tselichtchevs extensive international experience, combined with his great writing ability, makes for a spectacular read.

Preface

Chinas emergence as a new superpower and an undisputed economic leader of the non-Western world is one of the most important global developments of the early twenty-first century.

There are many books and articles on Chinas rise. Their authors have vividly shown its remarkable scale and breathtaking speed. In this regard, perhaps, there is nothing left to argue about.

Our book is not about Chinas rise. We will not even use the term.

It is time to make a step forward. The purpose of this book is to present a comprehensive picture of the economic power balance between China and the West in todays world, to show how and why it has been changing over time, especially since the beginning of the new century, and, where possible, to articulate the directions of change expected in this decade and beyond.

Both China and the West are our main heroes. Other heroes, especially a cohort of large emerging market countries starting from India, are also present.

The term West is not geographical: It includes all old industrially developed economies: North America, Western Europe, Japan, Australia, and New Zealand (the new industrially developed economies are four Asian tigers: Singapore, Hong Kong, South Korea, and Taiwan). In this book, due to inevitable space constraints, the Western part of the analysis is concentrated mostly on the United States, Japan, Germany, France, the United Kingdom, and Italy.

In Part One we explore the West-China balance of power in manufacturing production, merchandise trade, commercial services, and finance. There is an endless torrent of information about Chinas rushing ahead and occupying top positions in one sector of the global economy after another. Our aim is to let readers clearly see in what particular areas and product segments China has increased its power significantly and is now leading, in what areas and segments it is rapidly catching up, and the areas where, in spite of Chinas progress, the West retains superiority and has a chance to enhance it further.
