Rivals - Bill Emmott
- In english. First published in 2009.
The rising economic and political power of Asia is the biggest story of our times. But it is often misunderstood, either as a story of West v East or as a story simply of the rise of China and its challenge to America. The book aims to challenge those views. The biggest story, the author argues, is and will be the rivalry within Asia now that, for the first time in history, the continent contains three great powers simultaneously, all of which are starting to think of Asia as a coherent whole.
-> Highly interesting book, opening up ones mind about how each of the 3-4 great powers (that is China, Japan, Korea and India) plays against each other their economics and politics game... with the USA as either a "referee" or full part of the game.
