When China Rules The World

He is a visiting senior fellow at the London School of Economics, IDEAS, a centre for the study of international affairs, diplomacy and grand strategy, and a visiting research fellow at the LSE’s Asia Research Centre. He is a columnist for the Guardian and the New Statesman.His interest in East Asia began in 1993 with a holiday in China, Hong Kong, Singapore and Malaysia. After that, he found every reason or excuse he could find to spend time in the region, be it personal, for newspaper articles or television programmes. The most important of these was meeting his wife-to-be, Harinder Veriah, in Malaysia in 1993 who then came to live with him in England the following year. His research on the book started in earnest when he went to live in Hong Kong with his wife and nine-week old son Ravi in 1998. During the following year he travelled extensively in China, Japan and Taiwan but his work on the book was interrupted by the tragic death of his wife on January 2, 2000 at the age of 33. He stayed on living in Hong Kong with his son until March 2001, fighting for an inquest into his wife’s death and then helping to initiate a campaign for the introduction of anti-racist legislation which was finally successful in 2008.He eventually resumed work on the book in 2005. He was a visiting professor at the International Centre for Chinese Studies at Aichi University in Nagoya and later a visiting professor at Ritsumeikan University in Kyoto. In 2005-6 he was a visiting professor at Renmin University, Beijing and in 2006 a visiting senior research fellow at the Asia Research Institute, National University of Singapore. He completed the final manuscript for the book in December 2008.Born in Coventry in 1945, he took a first class honours degree at Manchester University followed by a masters degree. He then went to Cambridge University, where he was a member of King’s College, and took a PhD. He subsequently held a lectureship in the Department of Economic and Social History at Bristol University

Starred Review. A convincing economic, political and cultural analysis of waning Western dominance and the rise of China and a new paradigm of modernity. Jacques (The Politics of Thatcherism) takes the pulse of the nation poised to become, by virtue of its scale and staggering rate of growth, the biggest market in the world. Jacques points to the decline of American hegemony and outlines specific elements of China's rising global power and how these are likely to influence international relations in the future. He imagines a world where China's distinct brand of modernity, rooted firmly in its ancient culture and traditions, will have a profound influence on attitudes toward work, family and even politics that will become a counterbalance to and eventually reverse the one-way flow of Westernization. He suggests that while China's economic prosperity may not necessarily translate into democracy, China's increased self-confidence is allowing it to project its political and cultural identity ever more widely as time goes on. As comprehensive as it is compelling, this brilliant book is crucial reading for anyone interested in understanding where the we are and where we are going. (Nov.)

读后感

马丁•雅克，一位学贯东西的全球顶级学者以深邃的目光透视了中国发展模式和西方模式的根本异同。他认为，21世纪将是一个完全不同的世纪，随着非西方国家力量的迅速兴起，西方将不再占据主导地位，一国实现现代化的方式也将多种多样。在这个充满“现代竞争性”的新时代里，中...

此书以假设口吻的书名 吸引了不少专家和学者争论，有些人看都不看就说书好（因为对胃口），但也有些人只看了书皮就说“奉承”“拍马屁”，我觉得都不客观。 这是本好书，虽然话题有争议，但里面内容很有指导参考价值，建议更多的人都来仔细读一读！然后再下定论！  

最初吸引我的是这个存在争议的名字——当中国统治世界。在当今社会，这无疑是一个抓人眼球的标题。看到一个老外写这样一本书，我的本能反应是觉得他在散布中国威胁论、黄祸这些充满敌意的论调。作为一个中国人，我相信绝大多数国人不会认为中国已经有了统治世界的实力和野心。...  

西方期望富裕、全球化和政治整合能让中国转性为一位温和的巨人。有新著认为这不过是幻想。 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 以前刚好翻译了该书的一个评论，翻译全文见http://www.qiuin.com/2009/07/post-213.html。 --...

中国：文明型国家

…这题目乍一看以为是科幻书，略惊悚，但翻开来看就会发现其实内容比书名客观太多了，抛开了西方资本主义国家那种传统的观念来看待中国的文化，传统与国情，理智地分析，而不是一味地把西方标准往东方国家头上套，挺好的

The world should see China through the lens of its culture and its people. Most Chinese attitudes, perceptions and behaviors are still best understood in terms of its civilization inheritance. Once again, history and culture are central to the story.

故意把結構搞得很複雜，其實觀點沒有多少，例證也都是很平常的內容，有大量的文字感覺是在湊數的。

开篇不错，但是后面越来越重复啰嗦。总体立意还是有建树的
