On China

Autor: Henry Kissinger

Número de Páginas: 645

For more than twenty years after the Communist Revolution in 1949, China and most of the western world had no diplomats in each others' capitals and no direct way to communicate. Then, in July 1971, Henry Kissinger arrived secretly in Beijing on a mission which quickly led to the reopening of relations between China and the West and changed the course of post-war history. For the past forty years, Kissinger has maintained close relations with successive generations of Chinese leaders, and has probably been more intimately connected with China at the highest level than any other western figure. This book distils his unique experience and long study of the 'Middle Kingdom', examining China's history from the classical era to the present day, and explaining why it has taken the extraordinary course that it has. The book concentrates on the decades since 1949, presenting brilliantly drawn portraits of Mao Zedong, Zhou Enlai, Deng Xiaoping and other Chinese leaders, and reproducing verbatim Kissinger's conversations with each of them. But Kissinger's eye rarely leaves the long continuum of Chinese history: he describes the essence of China's approach to diplomacy, strategy and...

Orden mundial

Autor: Henry Kissinger

Número de Páginas: 516

Una profunda reflexión sobre qué motiva la armonía y el conflicto en las relaciones internacionales, por el Premio Nobel de la Paz. «Las conclusiones de Kissinger deberían ser lectura obligada para los candidatos a las elecciones de 2016. El orden mundial depende de ello.» The Financial Times Henry Kissinger presenta una profunda y original reflexión sobre las causas que originan la armonía y los conflictos en los asuntos globales. A partir de su inmensa experiencia como uno de los principales estadistas del siglo XX, asesor de presidentes, conocedor del mundo, observador y participante en los temas centrales de política internacional de último medio siglo, Kissinger expone en esta obra su visión del reto fundamental del siglo XXI: cómo construir un orden internacional compartido en un mundo con perspectivas históricas divergentes, plagado de conflictos violentos, tecnología desbocada y extremismo ideológico. Reseñas: «El mejor Kissinger, con su inimitable combinación de erudición y agudeza, y el talento para unir titulares con tendencia a largo plazo; a muy largo en este caso. Abarca desde el Tratado de Westphalia a los avances en microprocesadores, desde Sun...

China

Autor: Henry Kissinger

Número de Páginas: 1233

La visión sobre China de una de las grandes figuras de la política internacional en la segunda mitad del siglo XX y Premio Nobel de la Paz. Cualquier intento de comprender el futuro papel de China en el mundo comienza con el reconocimiento de su historia: ningún otro país puede reivindicar una relación tan poderosa con su pasado y sus principios tradicionales, y son muy pocas las sociedades que han alcanzado una dimensión y una sofisticación comparables. Henry Kissinger fue el gran artífice de la apertura de China al mundo con su visita en 1971 como secretario de Estado, y la preparación de la que al año siguiente llevaría a cabo el presidente Nixon. Desde entonces, la relevancia de China en el mundo no ha dejado de crecer. Kissinger ha ayudado a configurar las relaciones de China con Occidente, y ha escrito por fin la historia de un país que conoce íntimamente. En este libro, Kissinger revisa los episodios clave de la política internacional china desde la época clásica hasta nuestros días y examina su estrategia diplomática en momentos tan fundamentales como los primeros encuentros entre el país asiático y las modernas potencias europeas, la creación y el...

Las hermanas Soong

Autor: Jung Chang

Número de Páginas: 429

UNA GRAN HISTORIA DE AMOR, GUERRA, EXILIO, INTRIGA, PODER Y TRAICIÓN. Por la autora de Cisnes salvajes y Cixí, la emperatriz. La biografía, al mismo tiempo íntima y épica, de tres mujeres fascinantes que contribuyeron a moldear la China del siglo XX. Suele decirse que «una amaba el dinero, otra amaba el poder y la otra amaba a su país», pero este dicho popular no hace justicia a las extraordinarias vidas de las hermanas Soong. Durante casi todo el siglo XX, mientras China lidiaba con guerras, revoluciones y enormes transformaciones, las tres desempeñaron papeles cruciales y dejaron huellas indelebles en la historia de su país. Ching-ling, llamada la Hermana Roja, se casó con Sun Yat-sen, padre fundador de la República china, más tarde vicepresidente de Mao. May-ling, la Hermana Menor, fue la señora de Chiang Kai-shek, primera dama de la China precomunista y una importante figura política por derecho propio. Por su parte, Ei-ling, la Hermana Mayor, fue la principal consejera no oficial de Chiang, esposa de su primer ministro y una de las mujeres más ricas de China. La relación entre ellas fue emocionalmente intensa y a veces conflictiva. Las tres disfrutaron de...

En este polémico y monumental libro, Henry Kissinger explica qué es la diplomacia y nos muestra su propia interpretación de la historia. Sus observaciones secretas sobre grandes acontecimientos y sus retratos íntimos de líderes mundiales de De Gaulle a Nixon o Gorbachov , basados en el trato personal y la experiencia, proporcionan al lector una visión poco frecuente de la alta diplomacia, que demuestra un profundo conocimiento histórico, unas indudables dotes para la ironía y una excepcional comprensión de las fuerzas que unen y separan a las naciones.

A New Cold War

Autor: Sanjaya. Baru , Rahul Sharma

Número de Páginas: 320

In July 1971, US National Security Advisor, Henry Kissinger, made a secret visit to China to meet top Chinese leaders. This inaugurated a new phase not just in US-China relations but in contemporary history. That visit and the subsequent US-China relationship, including the US decision to invest in China's economic rise and admit it into the WTO, combined to firm up the foundations of China's rise as a world power. For more than four decades, the leadership of the two countries had a secretive pact, which worked well to each other's benefit. The US helped power China's economic growth in the hope that Beijing would turn a new political leaf and adopt Western practices (e.g. democracy). China grew economically and militarily, used its financial prowess to spread its influence across continents, as four generations of Chinese leaders built their nation at the expense of the US. Half a century after Kissinger's historic visit, the US and China are today engaged in a trade war bordering on a new Cold War. Washington is not openly talking about 'de-coupling' from China, which has begun to challenge its global dominance, but it might very well be. China has already established itself as ...

La China de Mao y la guerra fría

Autor: Chen Jian

Número de Páginas: 468

Este exhaustivo estudio de la experiencia china en la Guerra Fría revela el determinante papel que desempeñó Pekín en la configuración del sesgo adoptado en la confrontación entre Estados Unidos y la Unión Soviética. El éxito de la revolución comunista china de 1949 dispuso el escenario. Los problemas de la guerra de Corea, las crisis del estrecho de Taiwan y la guerra de Vietnam —todos los cuales involucraron a China como actor primordial— constituyeron los únicos conflictos «calientes» del período de la Guerra Fría, ya que convirtieron el este de Asia en el principal campo de batalla, creando al mismo tiempo las condiciones que impidieron que las dos superpotencias entablasen una confrontación militar directa. La ruptura de Pekín con Moscú y su acercamiento a Washington transformaron de modo fundamental el equilibrio de poder internacional y, finalmente, desembocaron en el fin de la Guerra Fría al producirse el derrumbamiento del imperio soviético y el declive del comunismo internacional. Basado en fuentes que incluyen algunos documentos chinos recientemente desclasificados, este libro ofrece ideas pioneras sobre el transcurso y el resultado de la Guerra...

Summary of Henry Kissinger's On China

Autor: Everest Media,

Número de Páginas: 83

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 The Chinese have a paradox of their origins. They believe that they are eternal, and that their civilization has no beginning. They believe that they have always been living in the same stage of advancement as in the present day. #2 Chinese history is filled with periods of civil war, interregnum, and chaos. But each period of disunity was viewed as an aberration, and each new dynasty reached back to the previous dynasty’s principles of governance in order to reestablish continuity. #3 China was never required to deal with other countries or civilizations of comparable size and sophistication. The Chinese Empire never attempted to conquer any foreign countries, and when the Mongol Dynasty collapsed, the expeditions to Japan were never again attempted. #4 The Chinese were able to maintain their splendid isolation, and grew accustomed to the notion that China was unique. Chinese elites grew accustomed to the idea that China was a great civilization, and not just another country.

On China (Summary)

Autor: Henry Kissinger

getAbstract Summary: Get the key points from this book in less than 10 minutes.In his formidable 500-page-plus book, equally formidable scholar-diplomat Henry Kissinger writes about the nation with which he is inextricably linked: China. Kissinger infuses his text with impressive personal recollections based on more than 50 visits to China over 40 years, working either officially as national security adviser and secretary of state, or unofficially as a foreign policy expert. In that time, he has seen China's evolution through four generations of its leaders. His insights on foreign policy and his personal rapport with top officials enable him to embellish this diplomatic history with extraordinary detail and discernment. getAbstract highly recommends the book's vast scope to anyone seriously interested in examining China's current and future role in world politics and economics, and that should be just about everyone.Book Publisher:Penguin Group (USA)

El gran sueño de China. Tecno-Socialismo y capitalismo de estado

Autor: Claudio F. González

Número de Páginas: 264

China tiene un plan: una combinación de contrato social para proveer de seguridad económica y física a los ciudadanos con un mandato celestial para volver a ser el país más relevante del mundo. Un plan que utiliza la tecnología para el desarrollo industrial, para dotar de confianza a la sociedad, y para ofrecer a los ciudadanos soluciones con una mezcla inseparable de conveniencia y control. Su mensaje de fondo nos hace preguntarnos: ¿es que no queremos convertirnos en mejores ciudadanos, disfrutar de un entorno más seguro, vivir en un mundo feliz? Nos asusta -y mucho- que una autocracia demuestre ser mejor que nuestras democracias y nuestro respeto por la sociedad civil y los derechos humanos. Sin embargo, la creciente presencia de China debería servir para que mejoremos y avancemos. Precisamente, esta monografía intenta explicar desde dentro -desde China- este nuevo plan, el tecno-socialismo combinado con el capitalismo de estado. El análisis se pretende lo más objetivo posible cuando uno se halla inmerso en un país y una cultura apasionantes, donde la tradición y la modernidad se cruzan a cada instante en contradicciones manifiestas, y cuando existe igualmente una ...

Número de Páginas: 22

Buy now to get the main key ideas from Henry Kissinger’s On China Different cultures and histories often produce divergent interests and conclusions. Henry Kissinger, former US secretary of state, does not always agree with the Chinese approach to foreign policy, nor will every reader, but it is crucial to understand it, since China plays a leading role in global politics and the international order emerging in the twenty-first century. Kissinger’s On China (2011) is an effort to clarify the conceptual way Chinese leaders think about issues of war, peace, and international order, and its relationship to the democratic and pragmatic American approach. To further this understanding, Kissinger chronicles the main stages of Chinese dynasties and the history of Sino-American relations since the proclamation of the People’s Republic of China.

Kissinger and China: 50 Years of Love versus Betrayal

Autor: Mehmet Emin Hazret

Número de Páginas: 345

Kissinger and China: 50 Years of Love vs. Betrayal Summary One of the key figures shaping modern U.S.-China relations, Henry Kissinger, stands out as a unique force in global diplomacy. His diplomatic outreach in 1971 marked a crucial step in normalizing U.S.-China relations during the Cold War. However, the longterm consequences of this move far exceeded initial expectations. China, fueled by financial and technological support from the West, rapidly rose to power—not as a democracy, as some had hoped, but as an authoritarian superpower challenging Western dominance. This book examines Kissinger’s 50-year relationship with China, analyzing its ethical and strategic dimensions in detail. Kissinger played a vital role in integrating China into the modern world, facilitating the flow of Western capital and technology into the country. However, this process exposed deep contradictions within the Western world’s stance on human rights, democracy, and ethical values. Kissinger’s silence on China’s authoritarian policies—particularly concerning human rights abuses against the Uyghurs—has become a subject of serious debate. Kissinger’s engagement with China cannot be...

El primer emperador de China

Autor: Jonathan Clements

Número de Páginas: 454

Ying Zheng fue el Primer Emperador de China: el hombre que conquistó los diversos reinos, unificó sus escrituras y sus leyes y construyó la Gran Muralla. Un tirano que hizo quemar todos los libros acerca del pasado, con la pretensión de que la historia comenzase con su reinado, y que enterró vivos a más de cuatrocientos letrados que habían pretendido engañarle en su búsqueda de un elixir de la inmortalidad. Reunió 700.000 hombres para construir su gigantesco mausoleo en el monte Li, donde se han descubierto ya más de siete mil soldados del fantasmal ejército de terracota que había de acompañarle en la otra vida, pero no se ha excavado aún su tumba, donde se dice que el Primer Emperador yace en un sarcófago de oro rodeado de un mar de mercurio. La historia de Ying Zheng ha inspirado diversas películas, una ópera, y toda una serie de videojuegos que tienen como objetivo desvelar los misterios de su tumba. Jonathan Clements, el autor de Wu, revive la historia y la leyenda de Ying Zheng en un libro fascinante.

Does the 21st Century Belong to China?

Autor: Henry Kissinger , Niall Ferguson , Fareed Zakaria , David Li

Número de Páginas: 106

Is China's rise unstoppable? Powered by the human capital of 1.3 billion citizens, the latest technological advances, and a comparatively efficient system of state-directed capitalism, China seems poised to become the global superpower this century. But the Middle Kingdom also faces a series of challenges. From energy scarcity to environmental degradation to political unrest and growing global security burdens, a host of factors could derail China's global ascent. In this edition of The Munk Debates - Canada's premier international debate series - former U.S. Secretary of State Henry Kissinger and CNN's Fareed Zakaria square off against leading historian Niall Ferguson and world-renowned economist David Daokui Li to debate the biggest geopolitical issue of our time: Does the 21st century belong to China? Highly electrifying and thoroughly engrossing, the Munk Debate on China is the first formal public debate Dr. Kissinger has participated in on China's future, and includes exclusive interviews with Henry Kissinger and David Daokui Li.

On China

“Fascinating, shrewd . . . The book deftly traces the rhythms and patterns of Chinese history.” —Michiko Kakutani, The New York Times “No one can lay claim to so much influence on the shaping of foreign policy over the past 50 years as Henry Kissinger.” —The Financial Times In this sweeping and insightful history, Henry Kissinger turns for the first time at book length to a country he has known intimately for decades and whose modern relations with the West he helped shape.

With a new final chapter on the emerging superpower’s twenty-first-century role in global politics and economics, On China provides historical perspective on Chinese foreign affairs from one of the premier statesmen of our time.

Mao

Autor: Philip Short

Número de Páginas: 1052

La China de hoy es una sociedad aparentemente contradictoria: parece conjugar una forma extrema de occidentalización con la pervivencia de los modelos tradicionales, algo que tiene mucho que ver con la visión que tenía Mao de China: una sociedad ideal unida por un consenso absoluto. La realidad de este inmenso país asiático, que tanto sorprende e incluso inquieta, es muy difícil de entender sin comprender lo que significó el maoísmo y, sobre todo, la figura misma de Mao Zedong, que ha sido interpretada hasta ahora a la luz de patrones occidentales que, inevitablemente, dibujan una caricatura del personaje, unas veces como monstruo y otras como héroe, muy alejada del hombre real que fue. Este libro de Philip Short, corresponsal de la BBC en China durante muchos años, es en parte historia de aventuras, en parte historia intelectual y, en parte, intriga política. Respaldada por una masa ingente de documentos secretos procedentes de los archivos recientemente abiertos del Partido Comunista chino, esta biografía de Mao, que se lee como una novela, de un tirón, nos permite, al fin, comprender en todas sus dimensiones esa figura colosal del siglo XX cuya sombra sigue...

Henry Kissinger and American Power

Autor: Thomas A. Schwartz

Número de Páginas: 376

“[Henry Kissinger and American Power] effectively separates the man from the myths.” —The Christian Science Monitor (Best Books of the Month) The definitive biography of Henry Kissinger—at least for those who neither revere nor revile him. Over the past six decades, Henry Kissinger has been one of America’s most lavishly praised—and most reviled—public figures. He was hailed as a “miracle worker” for his peacemaking in the Middle East, pursuit of détente with the Soviet Union, negotiation of an end to the Vietnam War, and secret plan to open the United States to China. He was assailed from both the left and the right for his complicity in the pointless sacrifice of American and Vietnamese lives, indifference to human rights, and reliance on deception and intrigue. Was he a brilliant master strategist—the “20th century’s greatest 19th-century statesman” (Robert Kaplan, The Atlantic)—or a cold-blooded monster who eroded America’s moral standing for the sake of self-promotion? In this masterfully researched biography, the renowned diplomatic historian Thomas A. Schwartz offers an authoritative and evenhanded answer to this question. While other...

World Order

Autor: Henry Kissinger

Número de Páginas: 414

As Henry Kissinger observes in this magisterial book, there has never been a true world order. For most of history, civilizations have defined their own concepts of order, each one envisioning its distinct principles as universally relevant. Now, as international affairs take place on a global basis, these historic concepts of world order are meeting. Every region participates in questions of high policy in every other, often instantaneously - yet there is no consensus among the major actors about the rules and limits guiding this process, or its ultimate destination. The result is mounting tension. Blending historical insight with prognostication, World Order is a meditation from one of our era's most prominent diplomats on the 21st century's ultimate challenge: how to build a shared international order in a world of divergent historic perspectives, violent conflict, proliferating technology and ideological extremism.

Henry Kissinger

Autor: Harvey Starr

Número de Páginas: 311

Henry Kissinger conducted American foreign policy with a distinctive assurance and panache that gave dramatic force to his tenure as secretary of state. His was the shaping hand in decisions that led to detente with the Soviet Union, to opening relations with the People's Republic of China, and to "shuttle" diplomacy in the Middle East and the disengagement of Egypt and Israel during the 1973 war. Taking a fresh look at the statecraft of Henry Kissinger, Harvey Starr brings to bear a variety of analytical methods on data drawn from different stages in Kissinger's career to define and explain the beliefs and perceptions that formed the ground of his policy decisions. Using psychohistory and content analysis, Starr defines Kissinger's perceptions of his adversaries—the Soviet Union and Red China—and draws revealing comparisons between Kissinger and John Foster Dulles. Henry Kissinger: Perceptions of International Politics is an illuminating view of an important era in American diplomacy.

Geopolitics and the Indo-Pacific Region

Número de Páginas: 276

Exploring geopolitics of the Indo-Pacific Region, a major hub of global, economic, commercial, military, diplomatic, and cultural activities in the 21st century, this textbook provides students with an introduction to the existing debates, frameworks, and issues surrounding the Indo-Pacific. The second edition has been revised, updated, and expanded to explain the major build-up of deterrence hubs during 2022–2023 in the Indo-Pacific Region (IPR). The hubs have a clear focus on North Asia (Japan and South Korea), the Taiwan Strait and Taiwan and the South China Sea (the Philippines, Vietnam, and Australia), and India and the Indian Ocean littoral areas (the Persian Gulf and the Bay of Bengal). This edition takes into account the effects of the Ukraine–Russia and Israel–Hamas/Iran proxies’ conflicts on the build-up of Russia–China–North Korea–Iran ties and the naval projections by China and Russia in North Pacific, off the Alaska coast, and in relation to Myanmar and Bangladesh and the Gulf/Red Sea areas. Within the purview of maritime security and NATO, the present century is critical with the introduction of missiles and nuclear submarine technology into IPR and by...

Normalization of U.S.-China Relations

Autor: William C. Kirby , Robert S. Ross , Gong Li

Número de Páginas: 410

"Relations between China and the United States have been of central importance to both countries over the past half-century, as well as to all states affected by that relationship—Taiwan and the Soviet Union foremost among them. Only recently, however, has the opening of archives made it possible to research this history dispassionately. The eight chapters in this volume offer the first multinational, multi-archival review of the history of Chinese–American conflict and cooperation in the 1970s. On the Chinese side, normalization of relations was instrumental to Beijing’s effort to enhance its security vis-à-vis the Soviet Union and was seen as a tactical necessity to promote Chinese military and economic interests. The United States was equally motivated by national security concerns. In the wake of Vietnam, policymakers saw normalization as a means of forestalling Soviet power. As the essays in this volume show, normalization was far from a foregone conclusion."

Western Perspectives On The People's Republic Of China: Politics, Economy And Society

Autor: Colin Mackerras

Número de Páginas: 272

How have Westerners seen the People's Republic of China over the years? The question raises many important issues, which this book aims to present, analyze and explain. The basic conclusion is that Western perspectives are somewhat more complex than simply viewing China's realities. Involved also are politics and power relations, trends in journalism and scholarship, as well as individual and group personalities and psychologies.Based on extensive personal experiences in China dating back to 1964 and wide-ranging travel in Tibet and ethnic regions since the 1980s, the author attempts to distinguish trends in different Western countries. However, most of the material will concern the United States, which has been the dominant contributor to Western perspectives during the whole period of concern to this book.The perspectives are taken up by topic, including politics, economy, society, and ethnic minorities. Inherent in each topic is the way cultures see and react towards each other. Images and perspectives can affect policy, and have done so many times in the past, which adds to the importance of this book. It also takes up questions of the sources of Western perspectives, both in...

Shadow Banking and the Rise of Capitalism in China

Autor: Andrew Collier

Número de Páginas: 206

This book is about the growth of shadow banking in China and the rise of China’s free markets. Shadow Banking refers to capital that is distributed outside the formal banking system, including everything from Mom and Pop lending shops to online credit to giant state owned banks called Trusts. They have grown from a fraction of the economy ten years ago to nearly half of all China’s annual Rmb 25 trillion ($4.1 trillion) in lending in the economy today. Shadow Banks are a new aspect of capitalism in China – barely regulated, highly risky, yet tolerated by Beijing. They have been permitted to flourish because many companies cannot get access to formal bank loans. It is the Wild West of banking in China. If we define capitalism as economic activity controlled by the private sector, then Shadow Banking is still in a hybrid stage, a halfway house between the state and the private economic. But it is precisely this divide that makes Shadow Banking an important to the rise of capitalism. How Beijing handles this large free market will say a lot about how the country’s economy will grow – will free markets be granted greater leeway?

The Geopolitics of China's Belt and Road Initiative

Autor: Theodor Tudoroiu

Número de Páginas: 336

This book argues that China’s Belt and Road Initiative should be seen more as a geopolitical project and less as a global economic project, with China aiming to bring about a new Chinese-led international order. It contends that China’s international approach has two personas – an aggressive one, focusing on a nineteenth century-style territorial empire, which is applied to Taiwan and the seas adjacent to China; and a new-style persona, based on relationship building with the political elites of countries in the Global South, relying on large scale infrastructure projects to help secure the elites in power, a process often leading to lower democratic participation and weaker governance structures. It also shows how this relationship building with elites leads to an acceptance of Chinese norms and to changes in states’ geopolitical preferences and foreign policies to align them with China’s geopolitical interests, with states thereby joining China’s emerging international order. Overall, the book emphasizes that this new-style, non-territorial “empire” building based on relationships is a major new development in international relations, not fully recognized and...
