Description: By All Means Necessary by Elizabeth C. Economy, Michael Levi Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description Clear, authoritative, and provocative, By All Means Necessary is a sweeping account of where Chinas pursuit of raw materials may take the country in the coming years and what the consequences will be--not just for China, but for the whole world. Publisher Description In the past thirty years, China has transformed from an impoverished country where peasants comprised the largest portion of the populace to an economic power with an expanding middle class and more megacities than anywhere else on earth. This remarkable transformation has required, and will continue to demand, massive quantities of resources. Like every other major power in modern history, China is looking outward to find them.In By AllMeans Necessary, Elizabeth C. Economy and Michael Levi explore the unrivaled expansion of the Chinese economy and the global effects of its meteoric growth. China is now engaged in a far-flung quest, huntingaround the world for fuel, ores, water, and land for farming, and deploying whatever it needs in the economic, political, and military spheres to secure the resources it requires. Chinese traders and investors buy commodities, with consequences for economies, people, and the environment around the world. Meanwhile the Chinese military aspires to secure sea lanes, and Chinese diplomats struggle to protect the countrys interests abroad. And just as surely as Chinas pursuit of natural resourcesis changing the world--restructuring markets, pushing up commodity prices, transforming resource-rich economies through investment and trade--it is also changing China itself. As Chinese corporationsincreasingly venture abroad, they must navigate various political regimes, participate in international markets, and adopt foreign standards and practices, which can lead to wide-reaching social and political ramifications at home.Clear, authoritative, and provocative, By All Means Necessary is a sweeping account of where Chinas pursuit of raw materials may take the country in the coming years and what the consequences will be--not just for China, but for thewhole world.
