DAVID SHAMBAUGH is Professor of Political Science & International Affairs and Director of the China Policy Program at The George Washington University, and nonresident Senior Fellow in the Foreign Policy Studies Program at The Brookings Institution, in Washington, DC. An active public intellectual, he has published more than 30 books, including China Goes Global, China's Communist Party, and Modernizing China's Military.
"This book is full of thought-provoking, well-argued arguments that
are certain to interest China watchers around the world."
—South China Morning Post "David Shambaugh lays out some bold
speculations about possible futures for China that will make even
seasoned China hands rethink their assumptions. It is critical
reading from one of our most astute observers of that country."
—Francis Fukuyama, Stanford University "While it is not possible to
predict China's future, it is possible to assay the contradictory
forces that are propelling it forward. Bringing his years of
experience and deep insight to bear, David Shambaugh has met this
daunting challenge with great perception, balance and
concision."
—Orville Schell, Arthur Ross Director, Center on US-China
Relations, Asia Society "Anyone desiring to understand the debate
over China's future underway among China's top leadership can do no
better than Shambaugh's concise book."
—John Garver, Georgia Institute of Technology "Convincing"
—Foreign Affairs "This is an extremely important book that deserves
a wide readership among government officials, and those in the
business community with aspirations to tap into the country's huge
market."
—New Zealand International Review "David Shambaugh skilfully
negotiates the tightrope between speculation and quantitative
evidence and, in doing so, offers a valuable insight into the
social contexts at play in postulating the probable future pathways
that China may pursue"
—Europe-Asia Studies
