Product Description Clear, comprehensive, and well-balanced, this unique assessment takes the measure of what is arguably the most important geopolitical change in today's world: the growth of China's power. In the only book on the subject to be based on extensive interviews with elite political leaders, diplomats, and others in China, the United States, and countries on China's periphery, David M. Lampton investigates the military, economic, and intellectual dimensions of China's growing influence. His account provides a fresh perspective from which to assess China--how its strengths are changing, where vulnerabilities and uncertainties lie, and how the rest of the world, not least the United States, should view it. Lampton gives a valuable historical framework by discussing how the Chinese have thought about state power for over 2,500 years, and he asks how they are thinking about the future use of power through instruments such as their space program. He also provides broad suggestions for policy toward China in light of the 2008 elections in the United States and China's hosting of the Olympic Games, in a book that is essential reading for understanding one of the most significant developments of the twenty-first century. From the Inside Flap "By learning more not only about China, but from China, America is more likely to sustain a constructive relationship with the rising China. Lampton insightfully provides us with the much-needed guidance."-Zbigniew Brzezinski, Center for Strategic and International Studies "Professor Lampton's stimulating and well-researched book provides a comprehensive framework for intelligent thinking about the implications for the United States and the world of the rapid expansion of China's economic and military power. Serious students of world affairs and non-specialists concerned about the outlook for U.S.-China relations will all benefit from the historically-based insights and judgments that fill the pages of this thought-provoking volume."--J. Stapleton Roy, former United States ambassador to China

《国家的自我毁灭》的视野既是历史的也是前瞻性的。向前看，我们面临着一个革命性的新的威胁，它不但威胁国家安全，而且能够毁灭现存的世界秩序。向后看，我们将意识到，面前的威胁有着深刻的历史背景，有着几个世纪的演化过程。今日的威胁——伊斯兰圣战式的恐怖主义以及生产核武器的“流氓”政权——也许应当被看作是这些历史趋势的外部特征，就像暴雨到来之前的疾风一样。军事战略家和政治专家中很少有人对即将到来的暴雨有着全面的理解，而理解它的历史意义的人就更是少得可怜了。

在线阅读本书 A decade after the cold war ended, policy makers and academics foresaw a new era of peace and prosperity, an era in which democracy and open trade would herald the "end of history." The terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, sadly shattered these idyllic illusions, and John Mearsheimer's masterful new book explains why these harmonious visions remain utopian. To Mearsheimer, great power politics are tragic because the anarchy of the international system requires states to seek dominance at one another's expense, dooming even peaceful nations to a relentless power struggle. Mearsheimer illuminates his theory of offensive realism through a sweeping survey of modern great power struggles and reflects on the bleak prospects for peace in Europe and northeast Asia, arguing that the United States's security competition with a rising China will intensify regardless of "engagement" policies.

本书从分析传统行政模式出发，阐明了各国政府竭力建构新治理模式的原因，并从各国政府的革新主张和著有发达国家的政府改革实践中，梳理归纳出四种未来政府治理模式：市场式政府（强调政府管理市场化）、参与式政府（主张对政府管理有更多的参与）、弹性化政府（认为政府需要更多的灵活性）、解制型政府（提出减少政府内部规则）。这四种政府治理模式各有不同的理论基础，适用于不同的政府体制。对每一种政府治理模式，作者都从问题、结构、管理、政策制定和公共利益五个方面进行了深入分析。 该书第一次系统评价了席卷全球的行政改革运动，并把各国政府的改革尝试和各种治理的观点有机地结合在一起，是一部行政改革的理论力作，被誉为对全球治理变革进行综合分析的杰出著作。
