A New Cold War

US–China Relations in the 21st Century
This book illustrates how the relationship between the US and China has long been a 'marriage of convenience' , but we might be close to the end of it. They are locked in a 'new type of cold war' where mechanisms of deterrence and competition differ compared to those of the Cold War, and which makes the return of bloc politics possible.

The last decade or so has seen US-China relations enter a negative spiral. The evolution of this complex relationship has triggered a fast-growing debate on whether this is a New Cold War.

Building on a deconstruction of concepts such as cold wars and Cold War, this book illustrates how the relationship between the US and China has been a "marriage of convenience" - with both cooperation and competition - for years, but also that we might be close to the end of it. The US and China, it is argued, are locked in a "new type of cold war" where mechanisms of deterrence and competition differ compared to those of the Cold War, and which makes the return of bloc politics possible.
