Document Summary
Case for war (realists) clash of civilizations. Case for peace (liberals) end of history. Future issues that will likely confront the u. s and the world. China is a rising power, exploding economically with dramatic increases in military strength and much more influence in international politics. The key question that emerges is will it clash with the us? (theoretical approaches assessing china- America relations to answer this question come from friedberg article). First, for the realists, most predict conflict between the us and china. Conflicts are especially likely when a rising power such as china seeks to confront and replace an existing status quo power, in this case the us. In terms of economic growth, china may become the largest economy in the world in just a few years. Its currency has been recognized by the imf as one of the elite currencies in the world.
