چکیده
China’s Rise: A Review Essay Asian Security Abstract: Given the polarized nature of the current American debate over China’s rise, the 2007 publication of three excellent books on the subject is both timely and welcome. Bates Gill, Iain Johnston, and Susan Shirk are three of the most respected American experts on Chinese foreign policy, and they arrive at a common, cautiously optimistic conclusion: China is not a revisionist power and conflict with the US is not inevitable. Yet conflict remains a possibility. Gill, Shirk, and Johnston have produced timely and valuable books that should contribute to the maturation of US debate over a US China policy for the twenty-first century.
