Reviews

Allen R. Carlson, Cornell University, author of Unifying China, Integrating with the World: Securing Chinese Sovereignty in the Reform Era:

The contributors to this impressive book grapple with looming questions in the Asian region, including the most important: Are we headed into a period of increased conflict and confrontation? Strategic Adjustment and the Rise of China takes note of escalating tensions in Asia over the last several years as Beijing appears to have assumed a more assertive stance over a variety of territorial issues and with regards to the United States.

Fills some major gaps in strategy studies, and can serve either as a reference for policy makers and Asian specialists, or as a supplementary text for teachers and college students.

Enhances our understanding of power and politics in East Asia, and will help policymakers, researchers, and students of international relations to follow the power transition caused by the rise of China.
