Sommario/riassunto

This new book addresses three key issues: What has changed in Chinese civil-military relations? What can account for changes? And what are the implications for Chinese security policy and strategic behaviour? It tackles these questions by sharply assessing civil-military dynamics in elite politics; such dynamics in national security and arms control policy; relations between commanders and political commissars; relations between the PLA and society; civil-military dynamics regarding defence economics and logistics; and such dynamics regarding dual-use technologies and defence

Sommario/riassunto

"When renowned futurist Barbara Marx Hubbard first issued this groundbreaking call to action she was confronting the state of affairs at



the momentous turn of the twenty-first century. Her clear-eyed, inspiring, and wide-sweeping vision of a possible - and essential - global renaissance at the new millennium earned her devotees in a variety of disciplines, from Marianne Williamson and Gary Zukav to Eric Utne and former United Nations Assistant Secretary General Robert Muller. Now, because the times are ever more ripe for - and in need of - radical reimagining, Hubbard has updated her vision. She shows how newfound scientific knowledge and technological advances can foster rather than impede transformational action. Consistently "ahead of her time," Hubbard speaks to contemporary change-makers with the wisdom of past experience and a passion for new possibility"--

""An inspirational call to action for reimagining political systems for stronger collaboration, environmental well-being, and personal empowerment"--
