- Why Does America Need Enemies? America's Discovery: The Globalization of Trade and of Misery Enemies Become Strategic Partners Clinton and Bush: Contrasts in World View China as an Economic Threat Human Rights: A Tool of Diplomacy China as a Security Threat Conclusion.
- In this powerful study, Radha Sinha presents a critique of America's political culture and its China policy and examines the reasons for the mismatch between professed American values and its statecraft in practice. This mismatch, and America's relentless search for enemies, has led to increasing disenchantment sometimes bordering on hatred. He argues that in reaction to the September 11 carnage, President George W. Bush has bolstered military expenditure, given wide latitude to secret services and undermined constitutional liberties. He has also embraced undemocratic regimes with dubious human rights records. Such actions, by deepening distrust in America, must further endanger American Security.
- 'A prodigiously powerful and disturbing book, making an unanswerable case that for a secure international future the US needs to resurrect the values on which it was founded. ' - Mark Elvin, Australian National University 'This no-nonsense, informative history of Sino-American relations since the nineteenth century pulls no ppunches as to which nation bears the onus for long-term tensions between them. Its argument that America and China need, and can build, a strategic partnership is powerful and convincing. Radha Sinha's even-handed interpretations are astute and thought-provoking.' - Ramon H. Myers, Hoover Institute, Stanford University ' An experienced economist and Asia-watcher who is not afraid to challenge conventional thinking, Radha Sinha takes us through the past, present and future of the crucial Sino-American relationship in this thought-provoking and well-researched volume.' - Brian Bridges, Lingnan University, Hong Kong '[A] comprehensive but succinct historical and thematic survey of US-China relations...' - International Affairs.
