About this product
Product Information
With Nixon's historic reconciliation with China in 1972, Sino-American relations were restored, and China moved from being regarded as America's most implacable enemy to a friend and tacit ally. Existing accounts of the rapprochement focus on the shifting balance of power between the USA, China and the Soviet Union, but in this book Goh argues that they cannot adequately explain the timing and policy choices related to Washington's decisions for reconciliation with Beijing. Instead, she applies a more historically sensitive approach that privileges contending official American constructions of China's identity and character. This book demonstrates that ideas of reconciliation with China were already being propagated and debated within official circles in the USA during the 1960s. It traces the related policy discourse and imagery, and examines their continuities and evolution into the early 1970s that facilitated Nixon's new policy.

Reviews
'Constructing the U.S. Rapprochement with China is a superb book. Evelyn Goh makes good use of recently available U.S. archival materials and Chinese sources to offer new insights into the U.S. policy making process during the Johnson and Nixon administrations … Both the specialist and the general reader will learn a great deal from this book." Robert Ross, Harvard University, "This is an important book ... [an] admirably thorough and clearly presented assessment of a wide range of recently declassified material. The book marks a major advance from the available literature on this important international turning point. It will be required reading for students, practicioners, and specialists on U.S. policy toward China for years to come." China Review International, Robert Sutter, Georgetown University School of Foreign Service, "This is an important book ...

It will be required reading for students, practicioners, and specialists on U.S. policy toward China for years to come." China Review International, Robert Sutter, Georgetown University School of Foreign Service, "Skillfully crafted and solidly researched, Gohs analysis gives more depth to the historiography of Chinese-American diplomatic history." Choice, 'This book provides a novel account of US-China rapprochement in the 1960s and 1970s … Constructivists and students of American foreign policy will find much that is stimulating here.'

Yuen Foong Khong, University of Oxford, "overall an interesting and important supplement to the orthodox rationalist explanation of teh U.S.-china rapprochement. It definitely contributes to our general understanding of how and why this important even occurred the way it did. It makes us think about the power of ideas, as well as the power of the constructivist approach." - Yufan Hao, Colgate University
