Dear DK and Colleagues

Re: The Rivals -- China, India (and Japan) -- Balance-of-Power and Disruptive Transformation

In response to the recent ATCA Socratic dialogues concerning China's power projection and the future of Chinese nationalism in the light of the Tibet protests, I wish to make several brief points. They are, in effect, by way of updates for my recently published book, "Rivals: How the Power Struggle between China, India and Japan will Shape our Next Decade."

With best wishes

Most recently, he wrote a book version of an extended essay, published in The Economist in October 2005 and called "The Sun also Rises" to echo his 1989 book.
