Although much has been written about this, previous coverage portrays events as determined almost entirely by Beijing. Such accounts minimize or ignore the other side of the equation: namely, what individuals, corporate actors, and governments in other countries do to attract, shape, exploit, or deflect Chinese involvement. \u003ci\u003eThe New Great Game\u003c\/i\u003e analyzes and explains how Chinese policies and priorities interact with the goals and actions of other countries in the region.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eTo explore the reciprocal nature of relations between China and countries in South and Central Asia, \u003ci\u003eThe New Great Game\u003c\/i\u003e employs numerous policy-relevant lenses: geography, culture, history, resource endowments, and levels of development. This volume seeks to discover what has happened during the three decades of China's rise and why it happened as it did, with the goal of deeper understanding of Chinese and other national priorities and policies and of discerning patterns among countries and issues.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Thomas Fingar\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0804796041\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780804796040\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Stanford University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/23\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 360\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.35lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 5.90w x 1.00d","brand":"Thomas Fingar","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48065153532159,"sku":"9780804796040","price":120.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_7e8de57b-5602-4b0d-9860-39119b8c0b89.jpg?v=1768673348","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-new-great-game-thomas-fingar-9780804796040","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
