The triumph of the Chinese Revolution was a turning point in history-but the true challenge was just beginning.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChina and the World follows the history of China's foreign policy as it forged a path of socialist construction. Professor Ken Hammond illuminates how China has moved through phases in an ever-changing political landscape: positioning itself through its relationships between the capitalist US and the socialist Soviet Union camps; exploring reform and opening within the global capitalist system; and taking a stronger position in global affairs as the largest economy in the world today. But as China offers an alternative to the exploitation of US imperialism, its position as a global power has also made it the target of a US-led new Cold War. Understanding China's relationships to the world is essential to understanding what is next for the global stage.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Ken Hammond\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9798991013925\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e 1804 Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/05\/2000\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 130\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.38lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.31d","brand":"Ken Hammond","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47040099877119,"sku":"9798991013925","price":21.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_4ef339cb-21a3-45ae-8e48-905cc0e39150.jpg?v=1752753559","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/china-and-the-world-ken-hammond-9798991013925","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
