Changing China

On newsstands January 1.

China is changing rapidly, and its rise has led to widespread fears in western capitals. But Beijing's rapid economic growth and increasing political clout will not spell the demise of the liberal international order, argues G. John Ikenberry, so long as the West plays its cards correctly. As part of a special package on China, John Thornton assesses the prospects for Chinese democracy nearly two decades after the Tiananmen Square protests; Stephanie Kleine-Ahlbrandt and Andrew Small reexamine Beijing's policy of nonintervention and its relations with pariah states; and David Hale and Lyric Hughes Hale warn that forced currency revaluation is not the solution to the large U.S.-Chinese trade imbalance.

Also in this issue: Michael McFaul and Kathryn Stoner-Weiss take issue with the notion that Vladimir Putin's authoritarian rule has promoted growth in Russia, arguing instead that economic gains would have been even greater under a democratic regime; Vali Nasr and Ray Takeyh insist that U.S. efforts to contain Iran by allying with Sunni Arab states may backfire and further destabilize the Middle East; Klaus Schwab provides a model for corporate citizenship; and Deputy Treasury Secretary Robert Kimmitt evaluates the impact of sovereign wealth funds on the global economy.

Finally, presidential candidates Michael Huckabee and Bill Richardson put forth their foreign policy platforms as part of Foreign Affairs' ongoing Campaign 2008 series.
