I The United States and China: Into the Twenty-First Century--now in its third edition and thoroughly revised and updated--looks at over a century of Chinese-American turmoil from a dual perspective  examining how two dramatically different cultures interacted and collided. Based on research by the author as well as by scholars in both countries  it examines the periodic cooperation and hostility between both governments and people in the United States and China. The book places special emphasis on understanding Chinas unique role in the Cold War and its centrality to the American obsession with the Vietnam War. It explains the interactions between domestic policies in China and the United States and their international behavior. The discussion of the post-World War II period  which constitutes a major portion of this textbook  has been completely revised to incorporate a vast new body of primary materials and research monographs written by Chinese and American scholars since 1990. Two entirely new chapters analyze Chinese-American relations during the Reagan  Bush  and Clinton administrations and examine the paradox of how  despite increasingly close social  political  and economic cooperation  fear of China has again become part of the American political debate.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45647849390133,"sku":"ByrdShop_0195137590","price":43.52,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780195137590.jpg?v=1781698143","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/the-united-states-and-china-into-the-twentyfirst-century-9780195137590","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
