Though a US-China conflict is far from inevitable, major tensions
are building in the Asia-Pacific region. These strains are the
result of historical enmity, cultural divergence, and deep
ideological estrangement, not to mention apprehensions fueled by
geopolitical competition and the closely related "security
dilemma." Despite worrying signs of intensifying rivalry, few
observers have provided concrete paradigms to lead this troubled
relationship away from disaster. This book is dramatically
different in that Lyle J. Goldstein's focus is on laying bare both
US and Chinese perceptions of where their interests clash and
proposing new paths to ease bilateral tensions through compromise.
Each chapter contains a "cooperation spiral" -the opposite of an
escalation spiral-to illustrate these policy proposals. Goldstein
makes one hundred policy proposals over the course of this book to
inaugurate a genuine debate regarding cooperative policy solutions
to the most vexing problems in US-China relations. Goldstein not
only parses findings from American scholarship but also breaks new
ground by analyzing hundreds of Chinese-language sources, including
military publications, never before evaluated by Western experts.
Meeting China Halfway, new in paperback, remains a refreshing and
unique contribution to the study of the world's most important
bilateral relationship.
