Sommario/riassunto

The book raises the question of how relations between the US and China will unfold is one of the most consequential of the 21st century. In the past decade, perhaps no thinker has had a greater influence on how this question is understood in both the US and China than eminent Harvard scholar Graham Allison, who developed the idea of the Thucydides Trap to warn of the risk of war erupting between a rising power and a ruling power in the power transition process. This book presents a comprehensive collection of Allison’s views and writings on US-China relations from 2017 to 2022, covering a range of topics including the balance of power between the two sides, where the relationship is headed, and lessons from history on how conflict can be



avoided. The book is presented in an accessible Q&A format and draws on interviews, articles, and reports, as well as dialogues between Professor Allison andDr. Huiyao Wang from the Center for China and Globalization (CCG), a non-governmental think tank based in Beijing. The book also includes an introduction and afterword by Dr. Huiyao Wang, CCG president and editor of this volume. Huiyao Wang Ph.D. is the Founder and President of CCG, a former Counselor of China State Council and Dean of the Institute of Development Studies at China’s Southwestern University of Finance and Economics.

Sommario/riassunto

This book highlights various issues related to biodiversity conservation and land degradation, and the global challenges faced in achieving land degradation neutrality. It then discusses the importance of ecosystem restoration as a pivotal strategy in solving these issues. Ecosystem diversity and its health directly influence land productivity and its range of ecosystem services. Achieving land degradation neutrality is crucial for restoring and reinforcing biodiversity's structure and function, which ultimately plays vital role in building climate resilience. To substantiate these ideas, this book presents practical case studies and exemplifies best practices in plant, animal and ecosystem conservation. It prominently highlights the intricate interplay of complex drivers behind land use, land use change, and land degradation. It also examines the direct consequences of land degradation on biodiversity and explore global efforts, frameworks, and strategies crucial for achieving land degradation neutrality. Furthermore, it integrates indigenous knowledge, policy framework and community engagement as instrumental components for achieving global targets related to sustainable land management. This book accentuates the significance of terrestrial ecosystems in achieving biodiversity goals outlined in SDG 15, Life on Land, through a multidisciplinary approach and contributions from academicians, policymakers, United Nations Organizations, and subject matter specialists. Thus, it is a resource for students, trainees, and researchers, providing them with knowledge and insights about significance of land degradation, land degradation neutrality, and biodiversity conservation.
