China and the United States since 1949 : An International History
Elizabeth Ingleson
Sino-American relations are central to international diplomacy and the global stage; this book explores how they have shaped the world since the mid-twentieth century; from the postwar era, through the Cold War and into the globalized 21st century. Starting with the declaration of the People’s Republic of China in 1949, Ingleson weaves through revolution, normalization, globalization, realignment and internationalism. Highlighting key moments in Sino-American relations she provides a fresh and multi-layered approach to the history of these two superpowers situated both within and beyond The Cold War to demonstrate how the struggle between capitalism and socialism was shaped on an international stage.
Examining the connections between geopolitics, immigration, trade and domestic politics, it emphasizes the roles played by non-state actors including students, immigrants, corporations and workers in both countries. China and the United States situates the Sino-American relationship within the context of national and international concerns, moving the historical lens down to look at the domestic social and political contexts as well as the wider international environment in which bilateral ties operated. It emphasizes the increasing influence of globalization and traces the shifting American ideas – and ideals – about China’s potential to change and become ever more like the United States.
