Read the assigned chapters by Graham Allison (see the course materials folders). In essay form, describe the economics of China’s Rise, the logic of the “Thucydides Trap,” and the strategies of Chinese foreign policy under Xi Jinping. Does the rise of China mean an end to US supremacy and a risk of major war?
2-3 pages single spaced. You can draw upon the PPT slides as well, but do not simply copy them. Use quotations from Allison or reference his page numbers if you draw directly from his book.
