Reviews

Strategic Reassurance and Resolve furnishes an important and wide-ranging toolkit to keep the conversation between the U.S. and China going. --Ali Wyne, Wall Street Journal [T]he points Steinberg and O'Hanlon make deserve the attention of all readers interested in the connection between U.S. and China going forward. --Publishers Weekly [S]cholarly as well as accessible, marking out the potential points of conflict while avoiding the glib certainties of much commentary on the implications of China's rise. What sets this book apart, however, is its intelligent effort to chart a feasible path for the relationship that could prevent inevitable competition hardening into unavoidable conflict... If policy makers on either side of the Pacific are looking for a handbook--and they should be--Steinberg and O'Hanlon have written one. --Philip Stephens, Financial Times Steinberg and O'Hanlon offer a realistic assessment of the challenges ahead in the US-China relationship... Ultimately, Steinberg and O'Hanlon's great contribution is in laying out a nuanced, yet clear-eyed plan to reduce the risk of great power conflict in the 21st century's most consequential bilateral relationship. As the authors themselves argue, the United States' and China's long-term intentions are unknown, unknowable, and dynamic. But if there exists an approach to avoiding dangerous rivalry and promoting stability in spite of this, it is Strategic Reassurance and Resolve. --Mira Rapp-Hooper, National Interest This book is for those who want a thorough explanation of the security, defense, and strategic issues facing China and the U.S. --South China Morning Post James Steinberg and Michael O'Hanlon argue persuasively. --Shannon Tiezzi, Diplomat [T]his readable title is a must for anyone interested in U.S. foreign policy and U.S.-China relations. --Library Journal This is an important book that should be read by anyone interested in US-China relations today. --Lanxin Xiang, Survival
