John Foster Dulles and the Taiwan Roots of the “Two Chinas” Policy
American Grand Strategy in the Indo Pacific
In an era of heightened great power competition, debates about American grand strategy in the Indo-Pacific region have returned to the fore. This review essay looks at three recent volumes that directly address such debates. After introducing the concept of grand strategy, Part I reviews each of the books individually in sequence, outlining their scope, contents, and contributions. Part II then integrates the contributions of each of the volumes …
The China Threat
"Nancy Bernkopf Tucker confronts the coldest period of the cold war -- the moment in which personality, American political culture, public opinion, and high politics came together to define the Eisenhower Administration's policy toward China. A sophisticated, multidimensional account based on prodigious, cutting edge research, this volume convincingly portrays Eisenhower's private belief that close relations between the United States and the Peop…

The Cultural Revolution in Intelligence

America in Asian Eyes
In the 1920s, Japanese managers turned to the principles of Frederick Winslow Taylor, the American efficiency expert, to make their factories more productive. In 1950, they looked to W. Edwards Deming, an American engineer, who taught them the importance of quality control. In November 2005, another American, Bobby Valentine, former manager of the New York Mets baseball team, led the Chiba Lotte Marines to their first victory in thirty-one years …
Taiwan Expendable? Nixon and Kissinger Go to China
Dangerous Strait
If Taiwan chooses unification, should the United States care
Economic dependence on, and integration with, China may make unification desirable or necessary for Taiwan in the not‐too‐distant future. What would it mean for U.S. national interests and the stability of East Asia? Can Washington's detachment be sustained
China Confidential
Strategic Considerations
This article examines the dangerous situation in the Taiwan Strait that could lead to war between the United States and China. The clearest threats to the future, as China's leaders envision it, are the policies of the United States and Taiwan that could weaken, destabilise and embarrass Beijing. Having abandoned the idea that America is in decline, Beijing is increasingly worried about how the US will use its immense power to constrict China's o…

China-Taiwan
Confrontation between China and Taiwan comprises the single most dangerous dispute for the US in the world today. Although the Taiwan Strait is peaceful again, and relations appear to be improving between Washington and Beijing as well as between Beijing and Taipei, all the problems that prompted the 1996 confrontation persist. For China, the aim is simple: to prevent Taiwan's independence and all policies that promote it. For Taiwan, the questio…

Hong Kong under Chinese Rule
What will the reversion of Hong Kong mean to the people of Hong Kong - and the rest of us - who invest, trade, and shop there? Over the last fifty years Hong Kong has served as a refuge from those who fled communism in China. It became the greatest entrepot and financial center on the Asian mainland. A stunning percentage of the world's trade passed through its magnificent harbor. The focus of this book is on the impact Chinese control is likely …

Lyndon Johnson Confronts the World
This is the most comprehensive, perceptive, and nuanced review to date of the foreign policy of the Lyndon Johnson era. It demonstrates US concern not just with the Soviet Union, Europe, and nuclear weapons issues, but the overwhelming preoccupation with Vietnam which shaped policy throughout the world. During this period, Johnson also faced a series of emergencies ranging from turmoil in the Congo, to war in the Middle East, to a perceived commu…

American Policy Toward Sino-Japanese Trade in the Postwar Years
Trade between American-occupied Japan and Communist China became an issue which both shaped and reflected fundamental currents of American foreign policy in Asia in the late 1940s. Historians have identified these years as a time of growing tensions culminating in the dire warnings of international struggle portrayed in NSC 68. Indeed, the fact that a draft of this document was at hand when war erupted in Korea has been considered evidence that t…

Alone in the Policy Jungle
Those of you who do not live and work in the Washington area may well have missed the single most important foreign policy story of the year. This was not arms control or the Gorbachev reforms, and was only tangentially related to “Iranamuck.” I am referring rather to the crucial question of whether Secretary of State George Shultz has a tiger on his tush. An editorial in the Washington Times, commenting on rumors that in his Princeton days the s…

Feature Review
In 1986 and 1987, as a Council on Foreign Relations international affairs fellow, I served in the Office of Chinese Affairs at the Department of State. My colleagues and I worked under the assumption that Sino-American relations had become so routine and yet so valuable to both participants that future contacts would be close, cooperative, and mutually beneficial, providing economic, political, and security advantages to each side. Although there…
