In the brief experience the world has had during the post-9/11 era,
much has been made of the need for sharing intelligence in the war
on terror, and a lot of emphasis has been placed on the
desirability of interfaith dialogue between Christians and Muslims.
But comparatively little attention has been paid to a crucial
component of intercultural cooperation on the key global security
issues facing the world today: that between and among the United
States, Russia, and China. This book examines key security issues
of the day from the perspectives of those three powers. From an
American perspective, Russia represents an erstwhile enemy of the
Cold War era who has the potential to become an ally, while China
is poised to become either an enemy, an ally, or an economic rival,
depending on whom you listen to. From a Russian perspective, the
United States is a former ally during World War II turned Cold War
enemy turned lone superpower, with the potential for cooperation
and conflict, while China has always embodied both ally and rival,
even during the Communist era. To the Chinese, who have had
rivalries and cooperative relations with both powers, the United
States is currently a valued supplier of both raw materials and a
vast market for Chinese goods, while Russia and the United States
are rivals in the scramble for influence in the Middle East and
elsewhere. With such a complicated history and with a future
fraught with all sorts of possibilities, how can these three key
powers cooperate in managing and responding to global security
threats and terrorism? This book examines key issues of the day,
including the threat posed by al Qaeda, WMD, energy security,
environmental security, ethnic and religious conflicts, and a
nuclear North Korea, from the perspectives of the United States,
Russia, and China. Each chapter is written by scholars from at
least two of the three countries. In this manner, the book embodies
that which it seeks to demonstrate, becoming in itself an artifact
of intercultural cooperation in the new international security
environment.
