Content: Many books offer information about China, but few make sense of what is truly at stake. The questions addressed in this unique volume provide a window onto the challenges China faces today and the uncertainties its meteoric ascent on the global horizon has provoked. In only a few decades, the most populous country on Earth has moved from relative isolation to center stage. Thirty of the world's leading China experts...all affiliates of the renowned Fairbank Center for Chinese Studies at Harvard University...answer key questions about where this new superpower is headed and what makes its people and their leaders tick. They distill a lifetime of cutting-edge scholarship into short, accessible essays about Chinese identity, culture, environment, society, history, or policy....

Uniform Title: China questions: Critical insights into a rising power

Content: 在短短數十年間，中國從幾被全球孤立的位置至走上世界舞台中心，瞬間成為與美國不相伯仲的強國，引起了各界的關注，也帶動了研究中國的熱潮。然而，市面上眾多有關中國研究的書籍中，卻甚少一針見血地指出中國當下所面對的問題。中國的經濟增長能否繼續迅速增長？中國能否為了環境保育而作出犧牲？台灣會否被成功收復？中國人民如何理解他們在國際市場上的位置？歷史挫折及傳統價值如何影響中國的內政及對外政策？隨着中國的迅速崛起，這些看似只是中國內政的政策舉措，對全球的影響卻愈來愈大。而全球目前所面對的挑戰，包括氣候變化、海事安全，甚至反恐等，都需要中國的參與。正因為中國很重要，了解中國問題更顯得迫切。本書分六部分，包括政治、國際關係、經濟、環境、社會以及歷史文化，邀請了主要來自哈佛大學費正清中國研究中心的專家學者撰文，針對中國在以上六個範疇所面對的挑戰提出了36個問題，包括內部問題如有關共產黨的合法性、一孩政策的終結，以及種族緊張等，亦有探討外交議題如中國與其他國家的關係，特別是與美國的關係。

Content: Following the success of The China Questions, a new volume of insights from top China specialists explains key issues shaping today's US-China relationship.For decades Americans have described China as a rising power. That description no longer fits: China has already risen. What does this mean for the US-China relationship? For the global economy and international security? Seeking to clarify central issues, provide historical perspective, and demystify stereotypes, Maria Adele Carrai, Jennifer Rudolph, and Michael Szonyi and an exceptional group of China experts offer essential insights into the many dimensions of the world's most important bilateral relationship.Ranging across questions of security, economics, military development, climate change, public health, science and technology, education, and the worrying flashpoints of Hong Kong, Taiwan, and Xinjiang, these concise essays provide an authoritative look at key sites of friction and potential collaboration, with an eye on where the US-China relationship may go in the future. Readers hear from leading thinkers such as James Millward on Xinjiang, Elizabeth Economy on diplomacy, Shelley Rigger on Taiwan, and Winnie Yip and William Hsiao on public health.The voices included in The China Questions 2 recognize that the US-China relationship has changed, and that the policy of engagement needs to change too. But they argue that zero-sum thinking is not the answer. Much that is good for one society is good for both-we are facing not another Cold War but rather a complex and contextually rooted mixture of conflict, competition, and cooperation that needs to be understood on its own terms

Content: Negotiated Power in Late Imperial China: The Zongli Yamen and the Politics of Reform explores the nature and functioning of reform during the nineteenth century of China's Qing dynasty (1644–1911). By analyzing the bureaucratic modes of management that developed around the creation and evolution of the Zongli Yamen or Foreign Office (1861–1901), the book demonstrates the vitality of not only the Chinese State, but also the institutional traditions of its Manchu rulers. Drawing on precedent and the flexibility of the administrative system in their efforts to manage the conduct of foreign affairs, high Qing ministers transformed opportunities for institutional dynamism into the reality of a functioning central Zongli Yamen with a foreign affairs field administration supporting it in the provinces. In the process, they altered the governmental hierarchy and changed the definition of institutional power in the multi-faceted area of foreign affairs and, more generally, for the Qing bureaucracy. As the most significant example of institutional development in China's critical period of the nineteenth century, the Zongli Yamen's experience serves as valuable background for understanding reform efforts in late imperial China and beyond.
