"This is the best analysis to date of the three-way economic and security game among China, other countries, and global market forces. With trenchant policy recommendations, it should be read by all those interested in China's impact on the world." --Dennis Blair, former Director of National Intelligence and Commander in Chief, Pacific "By All Means Necessary is a valuable corrective to the hype--both positive and negative-- that typically accompanies accounts of China's global search for natural resources. Economy and Levi combine an understanding of Chinese politics and economic policy with a detailed knowledge of different global markets, from oil to ore. The result is a myth-busting book that offers insights and advice for policymakers, business leaders, and anyone interested in China and the world." --Anne-Marie Slaughter, President, the New America Foundation "Will the 21st century be dominated by China in the same way that the last century was dominated by the United States? Economy and Levi have provided a compelling assessment of how supercharged and commodity-intensive growth in China has led to an unprecedented global buying spree for resources as varied as oil and gas, industrial metals and rare earth minerals, ores and coal, as well as farmland. China's foreign policy and global geopolitics have been influenced in tangible ways, but they argue convincingly that Beijing's motivations are not nefarious and the global system will find ways to curb feared excesses, even as the Middle Kingdom moves to secure the territorial seas around it and build a significant naval presence." --Edward L. Morse, Head of Global Commodities Research, Citigroup "If we are to intelligently manage China's resurgence, there are few areas more deserving of our attention than China's voracious global appetite for natural resources. In this well-written and insightful new study the authors vividly limn how China's restless quest for rejuvenation is simultaneously upsetting the old world order and demanding that the other countries develop new ways of understanding and interacting with it. For anyone wishing to come to terms with this aspect of China's rise, and the policy choices it raises for countries like the US, this is the go-to read." --Orville Schell, Arthur Ross Director, The Center on US-China Relations, Asia Society, "[A] wide-ranging and richly informed look at how the rapid growth of the world's most-populous country is affecting the global economy... According to the authors, in other words, China's supposedly pending economic takeover of the world's resources is more hype than reality. Ms. Economy and Mr. Levi... range from commodity to commodity and sector to sector to show that China's economy and culture are being changed at least as much by the world as China is exerting transformative change upon it." --Howard W. French, The Wall Street Journal "Elizabeth Economy and Michael Levi pen the shut-up-and-read-it book of the moment on Asia." --Tom Keene, Bloomberg Businessweek "This is the best analysis to date of the three-way economic and security game among China, other countries, and global market forces.

Synopsis
In the past thirty years, China has transformed from an impoverished country where peasants comprised the largest portion of the populace to an economic power with an expanding middle class and more megacities than anywhere else on earth. This remarkable transformation has required, and will continue to demand, massive quantities of resources. Like every other major power in modern history, China is looking outward to find them. In By All Means Necessary, Elizabeth C. Economy and Michael Levi explore the unrivaled expansion of the Chinese economy and the global effects of its meteoric growth. China is now engaged in a far-flung quest, hunting around the world for fuel, ores, water, and land for farming, and deploying whatever it needs in the economic, political, and military spheres to secure the resources it requires. Chinese traders and investors buy commodities, with consequences for economies, people, and the environment around the world. Meanwhile the Chinese military aspires to secure sea lanes, and Chinese diplomats struggle to protect the country's interests abroad. And just as surely as China's pursuit of natural resources is changing the world--restructuring markets, pushing up commodity prices, transforming resource-rich economies through investment and trade--it is also changing China itself. As Chinese corporations increasingly venture abroad, they must navigate various political regimes, participate in international markets, and adopt foreign standards and practices, which can lead to wide-reaching social and political ramifications at home. Clear, authoritative, and provocative, By All Means Necessary is a sweeping account of where China's pursuit of raw materials may take the country in the coming years and what the consequences will be--not just for China, but for the whole world., The explosive growth of China's economy over the past quarter century has been one of the most important events in contemporary times. In short order, China transformed from an impoverished, backward country in which peasants comprised the largest portion of the population (by far) into an industrial dynamo that rivaled only nineteenth century Britain and twentieth century America in its world-historical economic impact. Yet like virtually every other major power in modern history that experienced such high growth rates, China eventually had to turn outward to seek the fuel it needed to sustain its turbo-charged economy. While at first it could rely on domestic resources to grow its industries, the staggering expansion of its industrial base in the past fifteen simply overwhelmed its ability to sustain its meteoric growth. Like its American imperialist predecessors in Europe and North America, the People's Republic has embarked on a massive natural resource quest in order to maintain its growth trajectory, and its firms (generally state-owned) are now engaged in a full-scale campaign to extract resources from all corners of the earth. In By All Means Necessary, eminent China scholar Elizabeth Economy and her colleague Michael Levi provide a comprehensive account of the topic and also consider where China's pursuit of raw materials may take that nation in coming years. They proceed in logical steps. They begin with the necessary background (the Deng era) and then move to the dirty business of basic extraction (mining). After detailing China's mining drive in East Asia, Africa, and Latin America - the materials that allow for manufacturing growth in the first place - they move on to the PRC's quest for fuel, water, and land for farming, all of which are required for sustaining growth. The logical next step for a nation with a powerful global economic reach is ensuring its own security, and they close by charting how China's military is now trying to secure sea lanes and acquire advanced military technology. This is a clear, authoritative, and provocative overview of an issue that is crucial not just for China, but for the world as well., In the past thirty years, China has transformed from an impoverished country where peasants comprised the largest portion of the populace to an economic power with an expanding middle class and more megacities than anywhere else on earth.
