Description

Explore three millennia of Chinese political and military strategy through the lens of Machiavellian power politics. This compelling analysis by Dennis and Ching Ping Bloodworth traces the evolution of statecraft from Confucius to Mao Zedong, drawing parallels between Machiavelli's theories on warfare, conquest, and authority and the sophisticated tactics employed by Chinese emperors, generals, philosophers, and strategists throughout history. The book presents a rich panorama of influential historical figures, including Confucian scholars, Legalist thinkers, military commanders, and political leaders who shaped Chinese civilisation. By connecting Western political philosophy to Eastern historical practice, this Routledge publication reveals how Chinese rulers and thinkers developed enduring principles of power and governance that rival and often predate Machiavelli's own insights, offering modern readers invaluable lessons in strategy and statecraft.

Key Features

The Chinese Machiavelli spans 3000 years of history, from ancient Confucian philosophy to 20th-century Maoism and modern Chinese political thought.

Dennis and Ching Ping Bloodworth analyse Chinese emperors, generals, and strategists through Machiavelli's framework of power politics and military strategy.

The book examines both Confucian moral philosophy and Legalist pragmatism as competing approaches to governance and political power in Chinese history.

Routledge's comprehensive text reveals how classical Chinese strategies of warfare, diplomacy, and statecraft compare with and often predate Western political theory.
