The Dragon's Hidden Wings How China Rises

The Dragon's Hidden Wings is the first comprehensive study on China's own soft power and the soft power wielding in China's rising process. Sheng Ding provides the reader with a detailed empirical study that chronicles China's economic and political ascent on the global scene over the course of the past three decades. This book not only examines the connections between the ongoing rise of China and its "soft power," a term coined by Joseph Nye, but also delivers to readers a more complete understanding of China's state power and the process of modernization it has undergone in order to accomplish its national goals.

Sheng Ding is assistant professor of political science at the Bloomsburg University of Pennsylvania
