Summary:

Richard Ned Lebow and Feng Zhang compare and contrast Western and Chinese conceptions of justice. They argue that justice can often be reduced to the principles of fairness and equality, although they are developed and expressed quite differently in the two cultures. The book reveals the extent to which Sino-Western competition in the present era can be explained by their different conceptions of justice. The authors further examine whether these conceptions are either converging or diverging, and what this means for great-power international relations.
