Contending that conflict is inevitable when an established power does not make sufficient room for a rising power, some conclude that the United States and China are on a collision course. In this timely new work, renowned professor of international relations Amitai Etzioni points to the paths by which the two nations can avoid war. Etzioni reveals that the United States is already preparing for a war with China but that no plan has been properly reviewed by either Congress or the White House and, above all, none has been subjected to a public debate. Etzioni seeks to provide a context for this long overdue discourse and to ask urgent questions: How aggressive is China? How powerful? Does it seek regional dominance or to replace the United States as the global superpower? Etzioni also examines the calls of some to integrate China into the prevailing rule-based, liberal, international order. The book presents our best strategy to reduce tension between the two powers and maps out how the United States can accommodate China's regional rise without undermining its core interests, its allies, and the international order.
