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

评分中国会统治世界?作为一个中国人也许从来没有想过这个问题,哪怕一朝中国拥有了美国那般的势力,也不会统治世界吧。自从新中国建立以后,统治者这个“反动”词汇,只能让人想到的是封建王朝的君主,而英国作家马丁雅克的《当中国统治世界》一书,直指的却是当今的中国。那么为...

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。

评分China is a Civilization State rather than a Nation One. 突然想起董仲舒,千秋功过任人评说,但没有他,汉武帝之功也许只是一个开疆辟土的军事霸主罢了。
