China's Security Interests in the 21st Century (Routledgecurzon Security in Asia Series)

the long version

"The collapse of communism in Europe, the quest for economic security and the war on terror have all affected China's view of security matters. This is intended as a comprehensive study of the new policy and security challenges that China may confront in the coming years. It includes chapters on Chinese concepts of security, the role of the United States, the Korean peninsula, Japan, Taiwan and China's quest for 'global power' status. The book covers all of China's current major security interests and concerns."--BOOK JACKET.
