America and China: Asia-Pacific Rim Hegemony in the Twenty-first Century places a historical context around the remarkable changes in international relations taking place in this region during the first decade of this millennium. While many institutions established after World War II are being re-examined, the United States' key allies in the region, Australia, Japan, and South Korea, publicly acknowledge that their relations with the United States are still strong. However, the balance of power has shifted dramatically in the region as China has experienced a meteoric rise in economic clout and military power. Randall Doyle examines this epic transition within the Asia-Pacific Rim region by drawing on the research and thought of regional analysts, politicians, scholars, and think-tanks. America and China is the definitive study of this important (and still ongoing) period of world history.

Professor Randall Doyle offers his appraisal of the relations between the U.S. and Pacific Rim countries. His lifelong engagement with Australia, China, Japan and Korea and his personal interviews with the president of South Korea and the prime minister of Australia along with many local elites turn this book into an interesting tome. His advice that the U.S. should make relevant adjustments towards the other side of the rim reveals his insights. Indeed, this is an ambitious undertaking to pack five nations into one volume; however, Doyle's expertise enables him to provide a concise survey and numerous persuasive remarks. His writing is poetic, lucid, fluent and engaging.
