Description

The Thucydides trap and a US-China face-off is not structurally inevitable; US-China relations are what the US and China make of them. Phua focuses on the ability to see 'US as US' and 'China as China' to trigger both countries' cultural tendencies towards pragmatism. Phua examines China's arduous journey to fit in the Westphalian system, the deep cultural misunderstandings by the West of Sunzi's The Art of War, and attempts to offer an inside-out cultural synthesis of classical, and modern Chinese thought as a proxy of their operational code, beyond the standard cliches about Confucian and Daoist thought. He builds on Jervis' Perception and Misperception as well as Alastair Johnston's Cultural Realism. Readers will benefit from a culturally-Chinese, western-educated, and politically neutral understanding of 'China as China'. An essential primer for academics, practitioners, and students of international relations, diplomacy, and Chinese Culture.

The shipping was just superior

The shipping was just superior; not even one of the books was in contact with the shipping box -anywhere-, not even a corner or the bottom, so all the books arrived in perfect condition. The international shipping took around 2 weeks, so pretty great too.

Found a hard to get book…

Finding a hard to get book on Booksplease and with it not being an over inflated price was great. Ordering was really easy with updates on despatch. The book was packaged well and in great condition. I will certainly use them again.
