About this book

In this book, Jin Kai provides an alternative perspective on the power interactions between a rising China and a "relatively" declining U.S. in the changing world situation. Grounded in previous scholarship, Jin argues that China's rise is historically, culturally, and structurally different; a peaceful power transition requires engagement by the U.S. in international institutions. Grounded in case studies and theory, this study will be of relevance to any reader interested in the evolving great power relationship between China and the U.S. 



Reviews

“Rising China in a Changing World offers a valuable overview of US–China relations in the contemporary era and identifies the roots of their conflictual relationship in a unique way. … Jin Kai’s book is a must-read for those interested in the current debates regarding a rising China, the Thucydides trap and the role of United States and China in this globalised world.” (Behzad Abdollahpour, China Report, Vol. 55 (1), 2019)
