US-China Relations in the 21st Century: Power Transition and Peace (Politics in Asia)
By Zhiqun Zhu. Routledge, April 2006, 224 pages Peaceful power transfer has been identified as a central dilemma in world politics, as power transition from a dominant nation to a challenger used to be associated with international wars. This book analyzes whether China and the US can learn from history and manage a potential power shift peacefully by looking at the bilateral relations of the two nations between 1990 and 2005. Zhu examines two important cases of power transitions in history - power rivalry between Great Britain and Germany (1871- 1914) that led to World War I and the power transition from Great Britain to the US (1865-1945) that ended peacefully - providing recommendations for potential peaceful power transfer from the US to China in the future.
