Tag hinzufügen | Zusammenfassung: | Introduction: Empire, world order and the Chinese challenge to Western power -- International trade: the geopolitics of commerce, currency and economic warfare -- Defence -- International organisations -- Moving past colonial era: neocolonies and the neutral option -- Africa: the long struggle -- The Gulf states: oil, security and global Islam -- Huawei, bifurcation and the high tech 'swing states' -- Russia, the Ukraine war and geopolitical realignment. "A comprehensive study of the pivotal role played by Sino-US competition for global influence in determining the balance of power between the two states. This work places this contest in the historical context of prior global geopolitical conflicts - including American-led conflicts with Germany, Japan, and the Soviet Union in the 20th century - to show how the ability to exert influence over third-party countries has consistently been decisive in determining which great power prevails. This work is divided into an introduction and eight chapters, which cover various topics: competing influences over international trade; influence in defence and arms markets; influence in international organizations; the influences of colonialism, decolonization, and third parties' rights to neutrality; competing influences in Africa; competing influences in the Arab Gulf States and the key role of oil markets in influencing the wider Islamic world; high tech as a means of asserting influence - including the case study of Huawei, Western efforts to pursue the bifurcation of global high tech, and case studies of South Korea and Israel as small high tech states caught between Beijing and Washington; and competing for influence over post-Soviet Russia and an assessment of what war in Ukraine indicates regarding global alignments." |
