Modern China and the New World: The Reemergence of the Middle Kingdom in the 21st Century

The book, Modern China and the New World, presents some of the most important issues confronting present-day China with the authors’ insightful views. As an expert on the Asian-Pacific studies, Professor Doyle acknowledges China’s role in shaping the future of the world in topics such as China’s foreign policy and its relations to the U.S. and its Asia-Pacific neighbors. As the best constitutional and political scholar in China, Dr. Zhang is well recognized by the free intellectual world and ranked as one of the top 100 public intellectuals by Chinese citizens, despite the fact of being kicked out of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, a think-tank for the Central Government of China. Dr. Zhang’s calm, wisdom, and constructive ideas are reflected in his writings on the role of political reforms in Chinese society and an analysis of the ‘Tibetan Issues’ for China’s central government. Altogether, Professors Doyle and Zhang have put together a book that is timely and relevant on matters concerning China and its future role in regional and global affairs.
