This book examines the changing dynamics of power in the
international arena since the end of the Cold War. Brown engages in
analysis of how the United States and the European Union have
responded to the so-called rise of China through an examination of
how policymakers' perceptions of China have changed over time and
influenced their policy choices. This study undertakes rigorous
analysis of how these perceptions have evolved between 1989 and
20092016, offering a comparative perspective on the similarities
and differences between the policy discourse and behaviour within
these two Western powers. Brown argues that 'China's rise' is a
contested notion, with varied perceptions of how the implications
of China's ascendancy have shaped policy preferences in ways that
are inconsistent with concerns over the threat of an impending
power-transition. Combining concepts and methods derived from IR
and FPA, the book examines the linkages between great power
politics and policymakers' competing interpretations of key
international actors, and their influence upon foreign policies.
The main objective of the study is to illuminate the different ways
in which the US and the EU have responded to the rise of China
through a close analysis of their decision-making processes and
outcomes across a series of key encounters and events, including
the transatlantic debate over the EU's proposal to lift its China
arms embargo (2003-2005). Undertaking qualitative analysis of the
development of American and European policymakers' perceptions of
China, this book will be of interest to graduates and scholars of
post-Cold War international politics, Foreign Policy Analysis,
policymaking, US-China relations and EU-China relations.
