Gerry Segal, a world expert on China, was a prolific writer. Before he died in 1999 the journal Foreign Affairs published his very provocative and significant article 'Does China Matter?'. Focusing on Segal's theme, this volume expands and takes forward his research by gathering together ten leading writers on China to reassess his argument. The book opens with a discussion of Dr Segal's contribution, and a reprint of the article. The authors then address the question of 'does China matter?' in the context of the world economy, Asian economy, as a global military power, as a regional military power, within world and Asian politics and within contemporary world and Asian culture. They provide an extension and critique of Segal's work in the context of an authoritative up-to-date and forward-looking evaluation of China's prospects. The question 'does China matter?' remains central to world politics. This book sets out a detailed case for exactly how, why and to whom it matters.
