Book Synopsis

This book considers whether the United States and the People's Republic of China have irreconcilable visions of world order.

The United States, China, and the Competition for Controlevaluates the twin claims that China seeks to dismantle the post-World War II international order and that the United States seeks to defend it. It defines the post-war order and examines how the United States and China have behaved within and in relation to it since 1945.

The book will be of interest to foreign policy practitioners, commentators, and analysts as well as stu
