This thoughtful volume is the first to evaluate comprehensively the
formation and execution of U.S. policy toward China and Taiwan
during the crucial twelve years of the Bush and Clinton
administrations. Drawing on an unprecedented array of sources, a
group of leading international experts explores the increasingly
complex environment facing policymakers in the wake of the tragic
events of Tiananmen, particularly the growing role played by
interest group lobbies, media commentary, and Congress. All these
influences combined to dismantle the bipartisan agreement that had
supported positive relations with Beijing, replacing it with a more
politicized and pluralized policy arena. The authors document how,
within this new context, the Bush and Clinton administrations
struggled to forge consensus, implement China policies, and
maintain a modicum of relations with the PRC. The study focuses
systematically on the range of domestic influences, but also
considers the less-obvious but vital roles played by European and
Asian nations, as well as Taiwan and China itself. Offering novel
interpretations based on pathbreaking research, this book will be
indispensable for all those interested in understanding the
intricacies that influence the delicate relationship between the
United States, China, and Taiwan.
