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

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...
评分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。...
评分马丁雅克是一位中国通,在2011年的书中对中国的未来发展富有预见性。书中的观点为经济发展存在一种不同于西方的中国模式提供了理论基础。民主并不是经济发展的必要条件,事实上亚洲四小龙没有一个是在民主制度中实现经济腾飞,而是先经济后民主模式。西方曾经认为自1989年后随...
评分 评分不可否认,此书书名弹眼落睛,以至于很多读者在阅读这本书之前就存在一种逆反心理,觉得这本书过分高估了当下中国的综合国力,有麻痹中国人、宣扬”黄祸论“之嫌。但出去书名,书中的内容还是相当精彩的,最后总结出的八个中西方差异,成了纵贯整本书的逻辑主线,具体会在下文...

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.)

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.
评分开篇不错,但是后面越来越重复啰嗦。总体立意还是有建树的

评分十年前光看书名大概连很多中国人都觉得这是一本哗众取宠的谄媚之作。如今恐怕越来越多的西方人无论是自愿还是被迫都不得不重新审视书里的内容。透过外人的视角看待自己,才会更加理解什么是“我们”,什么最成其为“我们”。这是一部严肃的著作,作者对东西方文明有着深厚的学识和深刻的见解,以及更难得的普世胸怀。随着时间的推移,这部书的重要性会愈加突显吧。
