Capa dura, sobrecapa e texto íntegros. Perfeito. Autografado. Em inglês). - Resumo: Once a sleeping giant, China today is the worlds fastest growing economy--the leading manufacturer of cell phones, laptop computers, and digital cameras--a dramatic turn-around that alarms many Westerners. But in China: The Fragile Superpower, Susan L. Shirk opens up the black box of Chinese politics and finds that the real danger lies elsewhere--not in Chinas astonishing growth, but in the deep insecurity of its leaders. Chinas leaders face a troubling paradox: the more developed and prosperous the country becomes, the more insecure and threatened they feel.
