<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>An accessible survey of Sino-American relations in Asia, which analyses the complex interactions between the two powers and asks whether conflict is inevitable.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>This book addresses the most important question in geopolitics today - the future of relations between the US and China. Concerned that the rise of China will challenge the its hegemony in world affairs, the US has decided to reassert its influence in Asia to counteract any challenge. Examining and challenging the dominant causal explanations for and professed intentions of this shift in US policy, this book uncovers the real dynamics of contemporary Sino-American relations, surveying their complex interactions in the context of their post-war history, offering the reader an accessible and informative survey of the relations between China and the US in Asia, ranging from Russia's turn to the east, the rise of Japanese nationalism, democracy in Myanmar, North Korea's nuclear programme to disputes in the South China Sea. This book is an illuminating introduction to the defining issue shaping global politics for our time.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> From the Back Cover </b></p></br></br>This book addresses the most important question in geopolitics today: the future of relations between the US and China. In 2010 the US announced a historic shift in foreign policy - the 'pivot to Asia' - turning its strategic orientation from the Atlantic to the Pacific. Concerned that the economic rise of China would prompt a challenge to its position in world affairs, the US declared it was 'both a Pacific and an Atlantic power' and moved to reassert its influence in Asia. This book does not portray China one-sidedly, but nonetheless challenges the dominant causal explanations for and professed intentions of this shift in policy to Asia. It argues that, rather than countering a 'regional aggressor' or a dangerous 'revisionist power', the US is creating instability through an intervention to hold back China that has echoes of the Cold War.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><br>The US vs China offers vital insight into the underlying currents reshaping the world as it shifts from its transatlantic axis to Asia-centred order, making it a must-read for anyone with an interest in twenty-first-century international affairs. An essential counter to arguments about the China<br>threat and the inevitability of US-China conflict, the work should find a place on any balanced academic reading list, both undergraduate and graduate. - Jenny Clegg, China and Asia Pacific specialist, author of China's Global Strategy: towards a multipolar world, Pluto Press <p/><p></p><br>Maher and O'Brien, who lectures in English Language and Literature at Mary Immaculate College in Limerick, have assembled a fascinating series of contributions. In most chapters, the writing and argumentation are accessible to both popular and academic audiences. - Gladys Ganiel, Slugger <br><p></p><br><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><br>Jude Woodward is a writer and lecturer on China.
