Hardback. Zustand: Good. The relationship between the US and China, the world's two superpowers, is peculiarly volatile. It rests on a seismic fault-of cultural misunderstanding, historical grievance, and ideological incompatibility. No other nations are so quick to offend and be offended. Their militaries play a dangerous game of chicken, corporations steal intellectual property, intelligence satellites peer, and AI technicians plot. The capacity for either country to cross a fatal line grows daily. Kevin Rudd, a former Australian prime minister who has studied, lived in, and worked with China for more than forty years, is one of the very few people who can offer real insight into the mindsets of the leadership whose judgment will determine if a war will be fought. The Avoidable War demystifies the actions of both sides, explaining and translating them for the benefit of the other. Geopolitical disaster is still avoidable, but only if these two giants can find a way to coexist without betraying their core interests through what Rudd calls "managed strategic competition." Should they fail, down that path lies the possibility of a war that could rewrite the future of both countries, and the world.…

Hardcover. Zustand: Very good. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Very good. viii, 420, [4] pages. Index. Signed associated bookplate affixed to the fep. The author talks about the relationship between the United States and China as well as ways to handle competition between these two great powers to avoid a conflict that could have catastrophic consequences. Kevin Michael Rudd (born 21 September 1957) is an Australian diplomat and former politician who served as the 26th prime minister of Australia from 2007 to 2010 and June to September 2013. He held office as the leader of the Australian Labor Party (ALP). Rudd has been serving as the 23rd and current ambassador of Australia to the United States since 2023. Rudd retired from parliament, but has stayed active in political discourse and academia, completing a Ph.D. at Jesus College, Oxford, in 2022. He has been involved in a number of international organizations, advocating for issues such as China-United States relations and Australian media diversity. In early 2014, Rudd left Australia to work in the United States, where he was appointed a Senior Fellow at the Harvard Kennedy School's Belfer Center for Science and International Affairs in Cambridge, Massachusetts, where he completed a major research effort on the future of US-China relations. Through 2014 Rudd joined the Center for Strategic and International Studies as a distinguished statesman, and was appointed a distinguished fellow at both the Paulson Institute at the University of Chicago, Illinois and Chatham House, London. Rudd has been a vocal advocate for AUKUS security partnership. Rudd has become a blunt critic of China's expansionism. Derived from a Kirkus review: An exploration of one of the world's most significant and fraught international relationships. Rudd, the former prime minister of Australia, employs his considerable diplomatic experience to analyze Xi Jinping's aggressive approach toward the world stage. The author sets out a cautionary tale, warning of the dangers of mutual distrust between China and the U.S. As Rudd amply demonstrates, Xi, as a kind of neo-Mao, is actively stoking the "depressingly familiar, ancient alchemies of xenophobia, nationalism, and political opportunism." The author calls for new "rules of the road" for the two powers to navigate, and he shows the roots of the conflict in China's suspicion of foreigners, regarded as culturally inferior and irrelevant, and the stance of the American government, which, despite its avowed anti-colonialism, has often disregarded China as an equal trading partner and pursued aggressive, patronizing policies toward China. Rudd surmises that Beijing sees the relationship as a transactional one while the U.S. has viewed it as "transformational, carrying with it the deeper objective of changing the fundamental nature of Communist China itself." This has not happened, of course, and the author walks us through Xi's "ten concentric circles of interest," which include the widespread consolidation of power, national unity, unfettered economic growth, "securing China's maritime periphery in East Asia and the west Pacific," and even "rewriting the global rules-based order." Where Xi is perhaps most vulnerable is in environmental policy or a situation in which cracks develop in the seemingly endless economic expansion plan.
