By All Means Necessary How China’s Resource Quest is Changing the World

By Elizabeth Economy & Michael Levi | Oxford University Press | 2014

In By All Means Necessary, Elizabeth C. Economy and Michael Levi explore China’s unprecedented massive quest for natural resources and the global impact of Chinese growth. China is on a worldwide hunt for resources to fuel its economic, political and military spheres. China’s purchases will have enormous consequences for economies, people and the environment around the world. Also, its increasing ventures into the world market expose and force it to adapt to foreign standards and practices, which may have considerable consequences on social and political practices at home.
