"A rigorous and thought-provoking new book . . . deserves to be
regarded as an authority, both for students of China's rise and for
those who are concerned that the Middle East may become a focal
point for a future superpower conflagration." -- The Financial
Times
"Highly interesting . . . a sober and much needed contribution." --
Centre for Mediterranean, Middle East and Islamic Studies
"Reardon-Anderson has assembled the definitive edited volume on
China-Middle East relations. Interdisciplinary, rigorous, and
fusing the combined talents of its many illustrious contributors,
it deserves to be read by a very wide range of scholars, diplomats,
and foreign correspondents." -- Christopher Davidson, Reader in
Middle East Politics, Durham University, and author of Shadow Wars:
The Secret Struggle for the Middle East"A comprehensive overview of
China's relations with an area which is much neglected but
increasingly important to it -- the Middle East. The merit of this
work is the diversity of authors, from Chinese to regional to
external perspectives -- and the depth of their expertise." --
Kerry Brown, Professor of Chinese Studies and Director, Lau China
Institute, London School of Economics and Political
Science"Insightful . . . unique and important." -- Middle East
Journal"A balanced, perceptive and thought-provoking book that
advances our understanding of the evolving relationship of China
and the Middle East." -- International Affairs
"The essays on the 'One Belt, One Road' initiative provide
refreshingly detailed and experienced perspectives. . . . Most of
the essays in The Red Star & the Crescent are written by China
experts rather than Middle East experts, and the book is all the
stronger for that. The Chinese perspective comes through clearly
and there is plenty of detail."--Arab Banker"This book is a
comprehensive study of China's strategic vision and policies. It is
a valuable resource for academics and policy planners with an
interest in China and the Muslim world." -- The Muslim World Book
Review
"A compelling, provocative, and polemical examination of Tito's
tenure and his position within the Cold War political (dis)order."
-- Jasmin Mujanovi?, Assistant Professor of Political Science, Elon
University, and author of Hunger and Fury: The Crisis of Democracy
in the Balkans
