This book posits an alternative narrative to Chinas rise by focusing on its impact on Asia. Chinas rapid rise as a multidimensional power is felt in all corners of the world and poses a direct challenge to the supremacy of the United States, which has held the status of a primary superpower ever since the end of the Cold War. For the most part, Asian countries want to avoid being dragged into this great power rivalry, preferring to adopt a more balanced and pragmatic approach. While a recognition of Chinas greatness does not necessarily place states in a subservient position, the author argues that the most prudent approach for Asian nations is to avoid being caught in the middle of the US-China rivalry, as this allows them to derive benefits from both sides. Abdul Razak Baginda was most recently a visiting fellow at Reitaku University, Japan. He received his doctorate in International Relations from Trinity College, University of Oxford, UK.
