It makes a persuasive contribution to the on-going debate on the US-China relationship by showing how divergent US-China policies in key areas such as anti-terror and anti-WMD initiatives, democracy and human rights, the US alliance system and the UN system contribute to unstable patterns of power balancing in the Asia-Pacific. The book looks in detail at Southeast, Central, Northeast and South Asia as the main arenas for US-China competition for influence on the regional security architecture."--Jacket Bibliography Includes bibliographical references (pages 237-264) and index Notes Master and use copy.
