Beskrivning

This first part of a two-volume work offers a comprehensive exploration of China's ambitious "Made in China 2025" initiative and its broader geopolitical implications. By examining China's strategic shift from a low-cost manufacturing hub to a high-tech powerhouse, chapters provide a critical assessment of the initiative's progress and its impact on global economic dynamics.In this volume, chapters explore the idea that MIC 2025 operates not merely as an acadeonomic development programme, but as a mechanism for strategic decoupling - a deliberate restructuring of global production networks aimed at insulating China from external vulnerabilities.Through expert contributions, readers will gain insights into the challenges and opportunities presented by China's industrial strategies, including the semiconductor "chips war" and the new global bipolarity centered around technology and innovation. An essential read for scholars and practitioners in international political economy, Chinese studies, and global economic governance, it offers a nuanced understanding of China's evolving role on the global stage, making it a valuable resource for graduate-level courses and research institutions focused on contemporary China. With its interdisciplinary approach, the book provides a holistic view of China's rise and its implications for the future of global economic and strategic competition.
