"All of the authors contributing to this volume offer intelligent analysis of recent developments, ongoing challenges, and likely future directions as China continues its rise within the global community. The essays are remarkably coherent and complimentary, collectively providing a comprehensive assessment of China´s economic, military, normative, regional, and global power. As such, this is an important and useful book for anyone interested in contemporary Chinese affairs." (Peter Worthing, Pacific Affairs, Vol. 90 (2), March, 2017)

"The edited volume has enormous value in providing substantive knowledge and information, in-depth analyses, and mostly sober judgments and predictions ... . the book should be on the reference shelf of scholars who study the rise of China and its implications and who are interested in the future of U.S.-China relations and the future of Asia." (Chengqiu Wu, Journal of Chinese Political Science, Vol. 1, 2016)
