In the waning years of the Cold War, the United States and China
began to cautiously engage in cultural, educational, and policy
exchanges, which in turn strengthened new security and economic
ties. These links have helped shape the most important bilateral
relationship in the late-twentieth and early twenty-first
centuries. This book explores the dynamics of cultural exchange
through an in-depth historical investigation of three organizations
at the forefront of U.S.-China non-governmental relations: the
Hopkins-Nanjing Center for Chinese and American Studies, the
National Committee on United States-China Relations, and The 1990
Institute. Norton Wheeler reveals the impact of American
non-governmental organizations (NGOs) on education, environment,
fiscal policy, and civil society in contemporary China. In turn,
this book illuminates the important role that NGOs play in
complementing formal diplomacy and presents a model of
society-to-society relations that moves beyond old debates over
cultural imperialism. Finally, the book highlights the increasingly
significant role of Chinese Americans as bridges between the two
societies. Based on extensive archival research and interviews with
leading American and Chinese figures, this book will be of interest
to students and scholars of Chinese politics and history,
international relations and transnational NGOs.
