| Summary: | Five years after the publication of this volume, an important question is if China, the Developing World and the New Global Dynamic is still relevant. In one crucial since this publication is still relevant; namely, it is one of the only publications to provide an overview of China＇s approach to different developing regions. Importantly, Dittmer＇s observation that China believes the future of the world to lie in the developing world, has only become more obvious with the establishment of the New Development Bank, the Silk Road Fund, and the Chinese-Latin American Cooperation Fund, among the many financing mechanisms, and the increased trade with and investment from China and developing regions. China＇s initial unwilling- ness to be identified as the leader of the developing world seems to have eased somewhat as it has become the driving force behind many of these new investment and trade initiatives. In 2010, Dittmer already stated that it was becoming increasingly difficult for China to maintain its self-identification as a developing country. In the 5 years since that, this has only become more problematic. China, the Developing World and the New Global Dynamic provides an overview of China＇s relations with developing countries through a series of ten chapters. In addition to the introductory and concluding chapter, the first two chapters by Gurtov and Zweig provide the macro-political and economic context of China＇s relations with the developing world. The remaining six chapters deal with six different regions： Southeast Asia, South Asia, Greater Central Asia, Africa, the Middle East, and Latin America. |
