U.S.-China Relations
Harvard Kennedy School Adjunct Professor Richard Rosecrance, a senior fellow with the Belfer Center's International Security Program, chaired a panel discussion titled "Can China and the United States Cooperate over the Long Term: Overcoming Historical and Military Challenges" at a U.S.-China relations event hosted by the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars in late April. Belfer Center Director Graham Allison, along with Steven E. Miller, director of the Center's International Security Program, and Joseph S. Nye, member of the Center's board of directors, participated in the meeting along with other notables from the United States and China. The conference was focused around the recently published book Power and Restraint: A Shared Vision for the U.S.-China Relationship, which features essays on global warming, trade relations, Taiwan, democratization, WMDs, and bilateral humanitarian intervention."
