Book review: Doshi Roshi. 2021. The Long Game: China's Grand Strategy to Displace American Order. The USA: Oxford University Press. 432 p.

Because the American effort to 'integrate' China into the liberal international order has now generated new threats to U.S. primacy in Asia, and could result in a consequential challenge to American power globally, Washington needs a new grand strategy toward China that centers on balancing the rise of Chinese power rather than continuing to assist its ascendancy. The authors argue that such a strategy is designed to limit the dangers that China's geoeconomic and military power pose to U.S. national interests in Asia and globally, even as the United States and its allies maintain diplomatic and economic interactions with China

The guiding elements of China's calculative grand strategy are clearly reflected in the policies China is pursuing in four separate areas: policies toward the United States; policies toward military modernization; policies toward territorial claims and the recourse to force; and policies toward international regimes.

Since Ma Ying-jeou assumed the presidency, Taiwan's relations with Mainland China have been profoundly transformed. This article uses the perspective of a grand strategy to interpret and explain Taiwan's new approach to cross-Strait relations. It suggests that Ma's government has adopted a grand strategy of accommodation that uses assurances, confidence building, and economic integration to enhance Taiwan's security. This new grand strategy has both ideational and materialist roots. The article also assesses the preliminary results of Taiwan's new security approach and its future sustainability.

After suggesting six components of a comprehensive grand security strategy for China, the author explores trends towards neutralism in the ASEAN countries, China's independent foreign policy, spread of a new wave of democratization in the Asian-Pacific region (China, Taiwan, the Philippines and the USSR), prospects for a Pacific Economic Community, options for China's security, China's policies in Northeast Asia and Southeast Asia, advantages of neo-socialism for China etc. (DÜI-Sen)

Wie soll sich Europa zwischen den USA, China und Russland positionieren - angesichts der rasanten geopolitischen Umbrüche stellt sich diese Frage immer drängender. Die größte Unbekannte ist dabei China. Dieser Band analysiert daher, welcher Vision das Reich der Mitte folgt, ob ein Gesamtbild mit klaren politischen Zielsetzungen vorhanden ist und ob diese zu einem stringenten Handlungsstrang führen - kurzum, wie Chinas Grand Strategy der letzten Jahrzehnte aussieht. Ein besonderes Augenmerk liegt dabei auf sicherheits- und verteidungspolitischen Aspekten.
