The idea that the twenty-first century will be "Asian" in the same way the twentieth century was "American" is widely repeated but rarely scrutinized. In fact, this assumption is not only overly simplistic--it may actually fuel the very geopolitical rivalry that poses the greatest risk to Asia's stability and prosperity: the strategic competition between the United States and China.While Asia is undoubtedly becoming more influential in global affairs--mirroring earlier eras of European dominance and America's continued global reach--the notion of an "Asian Century" obscures more than it reveals. This paper examines the many economic, political, demographic, and security complexities hidden within the phrase and argues that no single continent can define the future. Instead, the century ahead will be shaped by a dynamic interplay of regional and global forces that defies easy characterization.

The desire for the 'core' leader has been imbedded in the ruling philosophy of the Chinese Communist Party. As the role of the 'core' leader and his interactions with other ruling elite are important in understanding Chinese politics, this book attempts to focus on the role of the party chief and how he could become the 'core' of the leadership. Xuezhi Guo provides the most detailed and comprehensive scrutiny of the 'core' of the Chinese Communist Party leadership and meticulously analyses the cultural, philosophical, and ideological origins as well as its evolution throughout the party's history. This study introduces an eclectic approach that integrates the most useful analytical perspectives and insights from Chinese political history, philosophy, and mainstream Western methodologies in order to explain the consistent patterns of elite politics and the behavior of the party's high-ranking leaders during times of cooperation and conflict from Mao Zedong to Xi Jinping.
