A World of Turmoil : The United States, China, and Taiwan in the Long Cold War Paperback / softback
by Stephen J. Hartnett
Part of the US-China Relations in the Age of Globalization series
Paperback / softback
Description
The United States, the People's Republic of China, and Taiwan have danced on the knife's edge of war for more than seventy years.
A work of sweeping historical vision, A World of Turmoil offers case studies of five critical moments: the end of World War II and the start of the Long Cold War; the almost-nuclear war over the Quemoy Islands in 1954-1955; the detente, deceptions, and denials surrounding the 1972 Shanghai Communique; the Taiwan Strait Crisis of 1995-1996; and the rise of postcolonial nationalism in contemporary Taiwan. Diagnosing the communication dispositions that structured these events reveals that leaders in all three nations have fallen back on crippling stereotypes and self-serving denials in their diplomacy.
The first communication-based study of its kind, this book merges history, rhetorical criticism, and advocacy in a tour de force of international scholarship.
By mapping the history of miscommunication between the United States, China, and Taiwan, this provocative study shows where and how our entwined relationships have gone wrong, clearing the way for renewed dialogue, enhanced trust, and new understandings.
