On Xi Jinping: How Xi's Marxist Nationalism is Shaping China and the World by Ke

Description: FREE SHIPPING UK WIDE On Xi Jinping by Kevin Rudd **An authoritative account of Xi Jinpings worldview and how it drives Chinese behaviour both domestically and on the world stage.** FORMAT Hardcover CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description In his new book, On Xi Jinping, former Australian Prime Minister Kevin Rudd provides an authoritative account of the ideological worldview driving Chinese behaviour both domestically and on the world stage—that of President Xi Jinping, who now hold near-total control over the Chinese Communist Party and is now, in effect, president-for-life. Rudd argues that Xis worldview differs significantly from those of the leaders who preceded him, and that this ideological shift is reflected in the real world of Chinese policy and behaviour.Focusing on Chinas domestic politics, political economy, and foreign policy, Rudd characterises Xi Jinpings ideological framing of the world as "Marxist-Leninist nationalism." According to Rudd, Xis notion of Leninism has taken the party and Chinese politics further to the left in comparison to his predecessors. Also, his Marxism has also taken Chinese economic thinking to the left-in a more decisively more statist direction and away from the historical dynamism of the private sector. However, Chinese nationalism under Xi has moved further to the right- towards a much, harder-edged, foreign policy vision of China and a new determination to change the international status quo. Xis worldview is an integrated one, where his national ideological vision for Chinas future is ultimately inseparable from his view on Chinas position in the region and the world. These changes in worldview are also reflected in Xis broader rehabilitation of the concept of "struggle" as a legitimate concept for the conduct of both Chinese domestic and foreign policy—a struggle that need not necessarily always be peaceful.Finally, Xis ideological worldview also exhibits a new level of nationalist self-confidence about Chinas future—derived from Chinas historical and civilizational strengths but reinforced by his Marxist-Leninist concept of historical determinism and the belief that the tides of history are now on firmly Chinas side. A powerful analysis of the worldview of arguably the most consequential world leader of our era, this will be essential reading for anyone interested in how Xi is transforming both China and the international order, and, most importantly, why?

Its distinctive, and therefore intensely valuable, and a classically Rudd enterprise because it involved reading, analysing and putting into Chinese and communist context every significant thing Xi has ever said or written. *Greg Sheridan, The Australian* Xi Jinping is one of the most important, but most unknowable leaders of the modern world. Kevin Rudd uses meticulous readings of Chinese sources and deep knowledge of Beijing politics to interpret Xis thinking in a fascinating and revealing way that is both deeply scholarly and informed by Rudds own understanding of leadership. *Rana Mitter, ST Lee Chair in US-Asia Relations, Harvard Kennedy School*Public servant, prime minister, diplomat, scholar--Kevin Rudds resume is also a stellar CV for the elite caste of scholar-bureaucrats that managed the Chinese empire for over a millennium. On Xi Jinping focusses the experience of a political practitioner engaged with China since his teenage years to analyse Xi Jinpingâs Party Empire and its global ambitions. Rudd also attempts the seemingly impossible by offering words of guidance and hope in this darkling age. *Geremie R. BarmÃ©, editor of the China Heritage*Understanding Xi Jinpings worldview and what it means for China and us, is more crucial now than ever. Rudds superb analysis provides the reader with a comprehensive guide to Xis thinking on domestic policy and global affairs. Rudd takes Xis words seriously and teases out the consequences: a politics and economics that has moved to the left and a foreign policy that has turned to a form of rightist nationalism. Rudd encapsulates these processes with the phrase Marist-Leninist Nationalism. This work is essential reading for anyone interested in understanding where China has come from, where it is heading and the consequences for all of us. *Anthony J. Saich, Daewoo Professor of International Affairs, Harvard Kennedy School*How has Xi Jinpings Marxist-Nationalism shaped China and its relations with the world? No one is better placed than Kevin Rudd to answer these questions, and he does so convincingly in these illuminating pages. This is an essential book for everyone interested in the future of China.*Joseph S. Nye, Author of A Life in the American Century*In this book, Kevin Rudd provides all who care about peace a huge service. Drawing on his extraordinary knowledge of China and the Chinese system, Rudd reveals a side of Xi Jinping only comprehensible through his extensive ideological writings--giving us all unique insights into a man upon whom much of the future depends and helping scholars and policymakers alike better understand Xiâs motives and anticipate his actions. A remarkable read! *Meghan L. OSullivan, Director of the Belfer Center for Science and International Affairs and Jeane Kirpatrick Professor of the Practice of International Affairs, Harvard Universitys Kennedy School of Government*Understanding Xi Jinping, his plans for China, and how they will affect the world, is the central challenge for the United States and policymakers everywhere. As a foreign policy practitioner, a scholar, a Chinese language speaker, and a former world leader himself, Kevin Rudd is uniquely well placed to answer the question of what Xi Jinping actually believes. He does so brilliantly by drawing on Chinese primary sources, in-depth research, and a lifetime of experience dealing with Chinas leadership. *Stephen J.
