China's AfPak Issues

David Fedman of FPA’s East Asia blog has written a thorough review of Michael Swaine’s “China and the AfPak Issue“. According to Fedman, in the piece Swaine, a China expert at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, ‘deftly outlines the myriad of often-competing strategic interests in the region that add texture to China’s foreign policy and the debate surrounding China’s development and peace-keeping initiatives in the region.’

I’ve been enamored with China’s growing role in Central Asia for some time (my master’s thesis was on the Shanghai Cooperation Organization) and applaud Mr. Fedman for bringing our attention to this piece.
