"This thoughtfully compiled edited volume offers a thorough and eclectic analysis of the theory and praxis of US-China great power competition. The volume offers a thought-provoking overview of one of the central issues of international politics, and will be of use to scholars and practitioners alike."
Courtney J. Fung, Macquarie University, Australia
“An essential compendium of the diverse ways great power competition can unfold and how can we make sense of its various dimensions. This contribution could not be more timely.”
T. H. Hall, Director, University of Oxford China Centre, University of Oxford, UK
“Once seen as a field in decline, the study of Great Power Competition is back on the agenda of IR and security studies. This well-crafted Handbook re-appraises, updates, and advances the thinking on the subject in two ways. One, it offers a clear conceptual framework to study Great Power competition that accounts for the various actors, mechanisms, and domains where a new era of post-Cold War struggles for Great Power influence have been unfolding. Two, it offers an avowedly global account of the resurgence of this competition through a set of well-researched and intriguing cases. Written in a clear and effective style, the Handbook will be a helpful starting point for students and a valuable resource for researchers and practitioners.”
Deepak Nair, Australian National University, Australia
