About this book

Providing a coherent and current account of how the U.S. manages to 'pivot to Asia' amid a rising China, this book provides an insightful glimpse into China-US relations, and the complexities of the two nations' economic and defense issues as China asserts is financial and military might in Asia and beyond.

Reviews

Leading experts in the field examine the geopolitical, economic, military, strategic, and diplomatic aspects of this little-understood and controversial policy initiative.” (June Teufel Dreyer, Professor, University of Miami, USA)
