This book addresses the most important question in geopolitics today: the future of relations between the US and China. In 2010 the US announced a historic shift in foreign policy - the 'pivot to Asia' - turning its strategic orientation from the Atlantic to the Pacific. Concerned that the economic rise of China would prompt a challenge to its position in world affairs, the US declared it was 'both a Pacific and an Atlantic power' and moved to reassert its influence in Asia. This book does not portray China one-sidedly, but nonetheless challenges the dominant causal explanations for and professed intentions of this shift in policy to Asia. It argues that, rather than countering a 'regional aggressor' or a dangerous 'revisionist power', the US is creating instability through an intervention to hold back China that has echoes of the Cold War.
