US-China Relations in the 21st Century addresses the bilateral relations of these two nations on an international, domestic, societal and individual level between 1990 and 2005. Peaceful power shifts remain a central dilemma in world politics, since historically power transition from a dominant nation to a challenger has been associated with international wars. This book examines whether China and the US can learn from history and manage a potential power transition peacefully.
Zhiqun Zhu selects two important cases of power transitions in history as the background for this study:
power rivalry between Great Britain and Germany that led to the First World War
the peaceful power transition from Great Britain to the United States.
