"Strikes at the heart of the rise of China argument: that China will replace the United States as the world's most influential power. Insightful and intellectually sound... an excellent contribution to our understanding of the limits to China's rise as a global power and America's enduring centrality to the world order." Elizabeth Freund Larus, University of Mary Washington "This is a book that everyone interested in the future of world politics cannot afford to ignore. It argues two important positions: that the USA domination of the world is the most robust and sustainable that can exist; and that China's bid to replace the USA must of necessity fall away. This may seem an unlikely scenario but read American Tianxia before adjusting your prejudices." -- David Goodman, Professor of China Studies, Xi'an Jiaotong-Liverpool University "Dismisses the dead end road of hegemonic cycle theories and opens a fresh, sound and convincing analytic frame for the present and future world-system." Prof. Dr. Volker Bornschier, University of Zurich, Switzerland "An original and persuasive analysis of the changing nature of US dominance...required reading for anyone interested in contemporary history, international relations, and the shape of tomorrow's world." Robert Holton, Trinity College, Dublin and University of South Australia

After a meteoric rise, China's once inexorable growth has come to a screeching halt. With it ends China's dream of establishing a new tianxia (‘harmonious order’) in Asia with China at its centre. Salvatore Babones provides an up-to-date assessment of China's economic problems and how they are undermining China's challenge to the Western-dominated world order. As China's neighbours and many of its own most talented people look to the United States to ensure their security and prosperity, global power is slowly but surely consolidating in a twenty-first century American Tianxia. A closely argued antidote to defeatist accounts of Western decline, this book tells the story of how liberal individualism has become the leitmotif of the American Tianxia, an emerging world-system in which people of all nationalities seek a share in the economic, cultural, and political system that is America writ large.

Right concept, wrong country One master, one sovereign One belt, one road to nowhere The hiatus of history
The main selling point of this work is its wide perspective. It takes history seriously (it takes comparison seriously and it takes non-Western thought seriously (recent Chinese and Russian international relations scholarship); A research short from a key PP author, Salvatore Babones whose past three year’s research has focussed on China and the BRIC countries economies; There has been a slowing down of the Chinese economy and this book will be an up-to-date assessment of why this is taking place, and in particular, in relation to the US. Salvatore has taken a Chinese concept of ‘Tianxia’ to explain this. He shows that not only is China unable to establish the new Silk Road in SE and Central Asia as expected, there is a massive brain drain to the US and China’s military expansion is doomed to failure due to the deteriorating fiscal situation; This short cuts across economics, international relations, political philosophy – it is part of a wider intellectual debate that is trying to understand globalisation – these are at the outside of what PP does but will be core to UBP. I would therefore like this to be on the list as a pointer of things to come;
