Routledge American Images of China: Identity, Power, Policy

Explore the complex relationship between the United States and China through this scholarly volume from Routledge Studies in US Foreign Policy. As the two most globally consequential actors of the early twenty-first century, their interactions shape the modern world. This book examines how American images of China help construct specific truths and realities regarding the country and its people. Readers will gain a deeper understanding of how these perceptions are linked to the development and justification of US China policies in Washington. The text explores the cycle where policies influence the production of imagery, which in turn helps protect and reproduce those same perceptions. This study provides a necessary look at the connection between national identity, political power, and foreign policy implementation in an era of global significance.
