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.
