"Jeremy Garlick’s book presents a comprehensive and unique theoretic approach based on rich and solid empirical studies to understand the BRI, China’s flagship foreign policy under President Xi Jinping. The theoretical-methodological framework, or what he calls 'complex eclecticism' in this book, creatively utilizes a set of conceptual stepping stones to bridge the gap between the confusing, multi-regional empirical reality of the BRI and existing grand theories from the IR literature. The result is a remarkable book that both foreign policy observers and international relations scholars cannot afford to miss." Suisheng Zhao, Professor of International Studies, University of Denver, and Editor, Journal of Contemporary China"A tightly researched, lucid account that should stand out amidst the growing literature on this subject. The book dissects BRI’s diverse, often loosely connected, multi-country projects, making the central story accessible to both international affairs specialists and the general reader." Kishan S. Rana, Honorary Fellow, Institute of Chinese Studies, Delhi; Public Policy Scholar, Woodrow Wilson Centre, Washington DC; former ambassador and diplomat with service in China; served as a joint secretary on the staff of PM Indira Gandhi (1981–82); author of eleven books on diplomacy"Within the mushrooming academic literature on the&nbsp;Belt and Road Initiative, this ambitious book stands out as it achieves something remarkable: it offers a truly original perspective on its sources, mechanisms and implications. Embedding a meticulously systematic and analytically rigorous assessment of BRI in the critically important debates and scholarship in the discipline of international relations, Jeremy Garlick provides intellectually impressive and as comprehensive as possible evaluation of what is certainly one of the great puzzles of global politics today. This book is an important contribution to the understanding of China's foreign policy and China's evolving relationship with the world." Dragan Pavlicevic, Department of China Studies, Xi'an Jiaotong&nbsp;– Liverpool University"Jeremy Garlick’s book offers a unique theoretical understanding of the Chinese Belt and Road Initiative. The complex eclectic framework serves as a vehicle for deeper discussions on Xi Jinping’s proposal. The book uses three types of theoretical understanding: Tang Shiping with the social evolution paradigm, through Robert Cox with neo-Gramscianism, and Jonathan Holstag’s offensive mercantilism. Thus, the book explains the Chinese proposal from very different perspectives. Going into more detailed scope of understanding Jeremy Garlick presents an eclectic approach of combination of almost all IR schools and discusses BRI from very different angles. The presented approach is very Chinese in the sense that the Chinese culture is all about finding middle ground, based on everlasting processes and not-fixed principles, being always flexible. And, in fact, this understanding also refers to the Chinese theory of Chinese (ethical) knowledge as the foundation, Western knowledge (and technology) for practical application of zhong wei ti, xi wei yong (¿¿¿,¿¿¿). This in fact shows the Chinese flexible and pragmatic approaches, as does the book. The complex eclectic framework shows that BRI is a multidimensional, multilevel and multidirectional proposal that serves China’s global aspirations and Xi Jinping’s desire for China’s future role in the world. Going beyond the eclectic framework, the book presents a necessary theoretical toolbox from which each of us can take the most suitable approach towards understanding the Belt and Road Initiative." Dominik Mierzejewski, Associate Professor, Department of Asian Studies, Faculty of International and Political Studies, Chair at Center for Asian Affairs (university-based think-tank), University of Lodz, Poland"Garlick provides a deep and refined understanding of China's Belt and Road Initiative that is often over-simplified by media pundits as well as the mainstream IR theorists. He shows the complexity of China's rise and the fluidity of its theoretical implications. He makes the case that eclecticism and interdisciplinarity is the future of IR studies." Jessica C. Liao, Assistant Professor of Political Science, North Carolina State University"This book provides a stimulating discussion on the relationship between two complex and difficult subjects: international relations theory and China’s Belt and Road Initiative. The book challenges conventional thinking on these subjects and deserves to be read by both scholars of international relations and of China’s changing role in the world." Duncan Freeman, Research Fellow, College of Europe, EU-China Research Centre, Department of EU International Relations and Diplomacy Studies

The Impact of China’s Belt and Road Initiative

One might have thought it mearly impossible at this late date to write a new book containing a well argued, fresh perspective on fundamental features of Descarte's philosophy. With this book, David Cunning has achieved that nearly impossible feat. The accomplishment is especially remarkable give his focus on the Meditations, which is one of the most thoroughly studied works of philosophy in existance.

Advance praise: The 'critical juncture' of the 1970s marked the end of decades of seemingly inevitable progress towards more equal societies, and the resurgence of a financialised capitalism. This volume presents a range of critical perspectives that help to unwrap the mysteries of mobile financial capital.' John Quiggin, Australian Laureate Fellow in Economics, University of Queensland

'This is an outstanding work which convincingly throws new light on a topic long outlawed in many teaching centres and shunned on many teacher training courses. It is a must for all teachers and teacher trainers.'

From the reviews of the second edition:

"This book is very different from other treatments since it emphasizes the computational aspects of the cohomology of finite groups with coefficients in a field. … I say merely that each mathematician interested in algebra and topology should have a copy of this book on their shelf and make sure that their librarian gets one as well. Overall I thoroughly recommend this book and believe that it will be a useful book for introducing students to cohomological methods for groups." (Manuel Ladra Gonzalez, Zentralblatt MATH, Vol. 1061 (12), 2005)

"Der Roman erzählt eine Geschichte von literarischer Größe und existenzieller Gefährdung, welche die historischen Zeitläufe transzendiert und allgemeine Bedeutung erlangt. Auch deshalb ist der Roman eine schöne und instruktive Lektüre, unabhängig davon, ob man den Schriftsteller Thomas Mann mag oder nicht." Stefana Sabin, NZZ am Sonntag, 28.11.21

"Colm Tóibín hat auch hier wieder einen bunten Lebensteppich gewebt ... Ja, er hat gar schöne Spiele mit uns gespielt, dieser (Thomas) Mann, nichts in der deutschen Literatur reicht daran heran, aber sein Einsatz war immer er selber. Colm Toibin hat ihn uns neu geschenkt." Tilman Krause, Die Welt, 08.11.21

„Thomas Manns gelebtes Leben neu erzählt. Nicht nur er ist ein Zauberer, Colm Tóibín ist es auch … Es gelingt ihm, Thomas Mann in all seiner Zerrissenheit darzustellen - und ihn damit ein wenig nahbarer zu machen.“ Maren Ahring, NDR Kulturjournal, 07.10.21

"Colm Tóibíns empathischer Blick auf die Familie macht die Geschichte der Manns und damit auch deutsche Literaturgeschichte für junge Leute und kommende Generationen zugänglich, ohne zu verklären. Der Roman besticht durch amüsante Dialoge… Tóibín hat in einer einfachen, aber raffinierten Prosa ein mitreißendes Zeit- und Gesellschaftsporträt geschaffen.“ Mareike Ilsemann, WDR 5 Scala, 28.09.21
