TIMELINESS AND RANGE. A paperback edition with a new chapter covering developments in 2010-12 has good promise for its timeliness and its range COURSE POTENTIAL. would fit well into courses on international relations in Asia and Chinese foreign policy, which just about every university offers. Although some courses concentrate on the United States and Asia and would not want to put China’s thinking at the center, I think that with good marketing this book would have broad appeal. Below I explain this appealFILLS A GAP BY CHOOSING A FOCUS THAT IS NOW DRAWING INCREASING ATTENTION. Many have concentrated on U.S. policy toward China, but increasingly attention is shifting to Chinese thinking and policy. It has become the driving force to which the other states respond. This book is unusual in its focus on China’s views. I think that it has good potential to be used in many coursesARC. Updated to 2012, which makes a natural stopping point because of the leadership change coming later in the year, this book conveniently covers the chronological sweep of the post-Mao era as well as the geographical sweep of strategic thinking in all directions across Asia. The evolution of Chinese strategic thinking over the two years since the book appeared reinforces the conclusions drawn earlier and offers a more dramatic climax to the trends of thought already identified. With an additional chapter this book would carry the Hu Jintao period virtually to its conclusion and show how earlier thinking on many subjects culminated in a sinocentric outlook. The new edition would be timed to cover the Chinese response to Putin’s expected return as Russia’s president after the March elections and his advocacy of a Eurasian community as well as a Russian strategy for the Asia-Pacific region in advance of the summer’s APEC summit in Vladivostok. It would also cover China’s response to the succession of Kim Jong-un and the celebration in North Korea in April of becoming a ’strong and prosperous state‘ as well as to the fate of the Six-Party Talks that China keeps pushing. After visits to Beijing over the past month by the leaders of Japan and South Korea, promising an upgrading of the trilateral summit in May with an FTA agenda, the chapter will cover China’s response to strengthened U.S. ties to Japan and South Korea. It would also treat changing views of South Asia as U.S. relations to India and Pakistan are evolving. In addition, ASEAN and the South China Sea are being addressed in China in new ways, and the expanded East Asian Summit from late 2011 is altering what China considers to be the context of regionalism
