Dealing In Cracks. . .Political, of Course

In the complex realm of international politics, every utterances and positions try to reflect on a self-fulfilling prophesy. Every move is calculated. Every deal measured. Every alliance made to last. Every nation fights a silent war to claim a position it deems is deserving. How the world is sorted out – in political terms – demands that no one nation stands isolated, even when it is powerful. Economic and political factors force any nation, anywhere in the world, to seek regional and global influence. The book tries to trace China’s global chain of political and economic influence. This nations world view and outlook is contrasted against its recent desire and possible role in Europe to solve the continent’s economic problems. And when one sets out to detail on Chinese influence, one cannot go without touching on the role Russia plays. The two eastern powers’ complementary global influence is explained in the book as adequately as the writers global political understanding can allow it.
