Features: Objective analysis of the historical trends of emerging powers' rise, comprehensively discusses China's optimal strategy for peaceful rise. The rapidly rising non-Western emerging powers—Brazil, Russia, India, and China (BRICs)—will bring about a revolution that reshapes the world's power dynamics. The model and path chosen by emerging powers are crucial, as they will determine whether they can rise smoothly and truly enter the center of global power. Currently, China is the leading emerging power among the BRICs, at the heart of this revolution, facing the greatest challenges and pressures, with its potential influence expanding. Therefore, this book holds significant importance for China and other emerging powers in selecting and formulating correct international strategies and policies. The rise of emerging powers is an irreversible historical trend. Based on an analysis of the international strategic opportunities for emerging powers' rise and the models and experiences of historical great power rises, this book focuses on studying the competition and prospects of emerging powers' rise, as well as their challenges to the existing international landscape. The rapid rise of emerging powers is bound to reshape the current international landscape and will inevitably encounter forces seeking to contain their rise. Thus, the rise and the containment of rise will be the main contradiction in international society for a considerable period of time. This book conducts an international political economy analysis of emerging powers' rise and establishes a game model to study the various contradictions that may arise in the process, including conflicts and tensions between existing great powers and emerging powers. It separately examines the strategic approaches of the United States, the European Union, and Japan toward emerging powers' rise; systematically studies the rise strategies of Brazil, Russia, and India, as well as their competitive and cooperative relationships with China; and finally, based on China's national conditions, analyzes the significance of the development model named "Beijing Consensus" by the West for developing countries, comprehensively discusses China's optimal strategy for peaceful rise, and explores the global significance of China's choice of the "peaceful rise" strategy.
