Synopsis:
Gerry Segal, a world expert on China, was a prolific writer. Before he died in 1999 the journal Foreign Affairs published his very provocative and significant article 'Does China Matter?'.

Focusing on Segal's theme, this volume expands and takes forward his research by gathering together ten leading writers on China to reassess his argument.
