Its leaders promise to bring about change through improved economies and greater communications across the Eurasian and African continents. While China has the financial and technical resources to accomplish its infrastructure goals, it is sorely unprepared to deal with the social and political demands of the people in the partner countries. This text addresses how China's leaders and citizens - in their relationships with Pakistan, Turkey, Indonesian, Iran, Nigeria, and Egypt - are learning that they have to respect and adjust to the aspirations of ordinary people throughout the Islamic world, not just cater to the narrow band of government and business elites.Item type | Current library | Class number | Copy number | Status | Date due | Barcode | |
