"China’s Western Horizon" (Book Club)
Under the ambitious leadership of President Xi Jinping, China is zealously transforming its wealth and economic power into potent tools of global political influence. But China’s foreign policy initiatives, even the vaunted “Belt and Road,” will be shaped and redefined as they confront the ground realities of local and regional politics outside China. In "China’s Western Horizon," Daniel S. Markey (A&S ’95), a scholar of international relations and former member of the U.S. State Department’s policy planning staff, previews how China’s efforts are likely to play out across the swath of Eurasia that includes South Asia, Central Asia, and the Middle East.
To get the most out of this experience, each member of the book club will be expected to read a chapter from China’s Western Horizon in preparation for each of the live zoom discussion groups, which will be facilitated by Dr. Markey and a Ph.D. student from the Johns Hopkins School of Advanced International Studies, Hasta Colman. Copies are readily available on Amazon.com, your local library, or the Johns Hopkins Library (for current Hopkins students, alumni, faculty, or staff).
