China and the West: crossroads of civilisation

Peter Nolan

Journal of Chinese Economic and Business Studies, 2020, vol. 18, issue 4, 273-287

Abstract: Human civilisation stands at crossroads. There are urgent global challenges that need to be confronted, including destruction of the natural environment; climate change; inequality of income, wealth and life chances; industrial concentration and regulation of the financial system. Looming above all of these is the issue of how to avoid a ‘Clash of Civilisations’ and a New Peloponnesian War. Only by looking deep into the past can one better understand the possible direction that the long-term evolution of world civilisation might take. The relationship between China and the West will play a central role in the path that humanity follows in the decades and centuries ahead.
