The Dragon's Struggle - Internal Challenges and the Rise of China

Pasquale De Marco

Sinossi

In a world grappling with uncertainty and change, China's rise has sparked both awe and apprehension. This book delves into the heart of China's internal contradictions and global aspirations, offering a comprehensive analysis of the challenges and opportunities that shape its destiny.

China's remarkable economic growth has lifted millions out of poverty, yet stark disparities persist. Regional imbalances, urban-rural divides, and income inequality pose significant threats to social stability and sustainable development. The book explores these challenges and examines China's efforts to address them, highlighting both successes and ongoing struggles.

Beyond its economic transformation, China faces daunting environmental issues. Air and water pollution, deforestation, and climate change threaten the health of its people and the planet. The book assesses China's environmental policies and initiatives, scrutinizing their effectiveness and the challenges that remain.

China's aging population and changing demographics present another set of hurdles. The shrinking workforce and increasing elderly population strain social welfare systems and economic growth prospects. The book analyzes these demographic shifts and their implications for China's future.

Domestic political developments are also under scrutiny in this book. It examines the Chinese Communist Party's grip on power, the limits on political dissent and human rights, and the efforts to control information and media. It probes the future of Chinese democracy and political reform, as well as the implications of Xi Jinping's consolidation of power.

China's foreign policy and global ambitions are reshaping the international landscape. The book explores China's strategic maneuvers in the Asia-Pacific region, its expanding economic footprint across the globe, and its quest for technological supremacy. It examines China's evolving relationship with the United States, its growing influence in developing countries, and its role in shaping the global order.

**The Dragon's Struggle: Internal Challenges and the Rise of China** is a timely and essential resource for scholars, policymakers, business leaders, and anyone seeking to navigate the complexities of China's rise in the 21st century. It provides a deeper understanding of this enigmatic nation and its profound impact on the global stage.

One Body: A Retrospective

Catherine Simpson

Nominated in Scotland’s National Book Awards 
In this searing, frank and funny memoir, Catherine Simpson describes what it’s been like to live in her woman’s body, and to reach the realisation that all that time she’d spent trying to change her body to conform - often to unattainable standards - could be seen from a completely different perspective. 
By the time she reached her fifties, Catherine Simpson and her body had gone through a lot together—from period pain and early menopause to shaming and harassment. But there had been success, joy, love, and laughter too: far more freedoms than her mother had, a fulfilling family life and career, and even the promise of further gains for her daughters. 
So when a cancer diagnosis upends her life, Catherine is forced to reflect on her body, then and now. From growing up on a farm where veterinarians were more common than doctors, and where illness was “a nuisance,” she finds herself faced with the nuisance of a lifetime. 
One Body is the demystifying, relatable, often hilarious and sometimes hair-raising story of how Catherine navigates her treatment and takes stock of the emotions and reflections it provokes. And how she comes to appreciate the skin she is in—to be grateful for her body and all that it does and is.
