China and America's Spheres of Influence: Tipping Points to Decide a New Cold War
China and America's Spheres of Influence: Tipping Points to Decide a New Cold War
A comprehensive study of the pivotal role played by Sino-US competition for global influence in determining the balance of power between the two states. This work places this contest in the historical context of prior global geopolitical conflicts -- including American-led conflicts with Germany, Japan, and the Soviet Union in the 20th century -- to show how the ability to exert influence over third-party countries has consistently been decisive in determining which great power prevails.This work is divided into an introduction and eight chapters, which cover various topics: competing influences over international trade; influence in defence and arms markets; influence in international organizations; the influences of colonialism, decolonization, and third parties' rights to neutrality; competing influences in Africa; competing influences in the Arab Gulf States and the key role of oil markets in influencing the wider Islamic world; high tech as a means of asserting influence -- including the case study of Huawei, Western efforts to pursue the bifurcation of global high tech, and case studies of South Korea and Israel as small high tech states caught between Beijing and Washington; and competing for influence over post-Soviet Russia and an assessment of what war in Ukraine indicates regarding global alignments.
A B Abrams' book is the first to specifically focus on the global conflict for influence between China and the United States and offers groundbreaking insights into the factors that will determine the outcome of their new cold war, and the radically different advantages both sides have.The ability to exercise influence across continents through trade and empire has played an increasingly central role in determining great powers' geopolitical standings since the onset of the colonial era. In both the World Wars and in the Cold War, ensuring that the bulk of the global economy contributed to the war efforts of the established powers, while isolating the rising powers that challenged them, was key to determining the conflicts' outcomes. China and America's Spheres of Influence places the current multi-faceted contest for global influence in historical context, highlighting how and to what ends both countries have been able to leverage different kinds of influence -- whether sway over oil producing countries, a larger global military footprint, or control over key financial institutions.This book divides an assessment of the global Sino-American cont
