Managing Crisis and Sustaining Peace Between China and the United States
April 2008 | PeaceWorks
This report by former Institute Fellow Wu Xinbo examines recent crises that strained US-China relations and identifies the positive and negative responses and actions of both governments, in an effort to determine how best to mitigate such crises in the future.
Together with PRC partners, the Institute brings together U.S. and PRC officials for closed discussions on a host of economic, financial, security, and environmental issues. PCAC’s key objectives are: (1) To foster deeper mutual understanding of traditional and non-traditional security issues that could have significant unintended consequences for U.S.-China relations, and (2) To further operationalize a set of principles that would provide guidance for the conduct of constructive, cooperative, and peaceful U.S.-China relations in dealing with economic, political, security, and environmental issues. By facilitating joint "policy R&D" analytical work on these issues, the Institute seeks to enable U.S. and PRC participants to apply key findings derived from PCAC conferences to official Track 1 dialogue.
