War with China: Will We or Won't We?

One of the most important questions of the 21st century is whether China and the United States will go to war. There are many reasons to suggest they will include the dangers associated with a rising power (China) confronting an existing hegemon (US), conflicting ideologies, and numerous flashpoints (Taiwan, South China Sea, human rights). But there are also reasons to suggest that peace will prevail including the sobering prospect of nuclear conflict and the costs of economic decoupling. This class will assess the reasons why war is and is not likely, leaving it to the students to make their own determination.
