Increased fluidity and pluralism in U.S. policy toward China in the
postDCold War period have led to growing non-governmental influence
as both the administration and Congress have become the target of
intense lobbying by organized groups concerned with human rights,
trade opportunities, relations with Taiwan, and other hotly debated
issues. This balanced study examines the central role of these
organizations, focusing especially on two key cases of policy
reversal: President Clinton's 1994 decision to delink human rights
concerns from trade access and his 1995 decision to allow Taiwan's
president to visit the United States, albeit in a private capacity.
The recent movement toward a more consistent and coherent
administration policy on China remains tentative and has been under
mounting attack, especially in the wake of Asian campaign
contributions. Although recognizing that U.S. policymakers must
consider a wider range of interests than was the case during the
Cold War, Sutter argues that following the prevailing consensus
among organized interests may lead to bad policy. Instead, he
contends that U.S. foreign policy must strike a balance between
satisfying domestic concerns while buttressing interests abroad.
