The power transition between the United States and China, and its implications for Europe and Asia in a new era of uncertainty, are examined in-depth in this comprehensive volume. The book delves into the profound impact that China's rise has had on the United States, Europe, transatlantic relations, and East Asia, shaping the global landscape in unprecedented ways.

China, driven by its enhanced power position, is ambitiously pursuing new ambitions, while the United States is adapting to a challenging new superpower rivalry. This power shift from the West to the East has resulted in a more peripheral role for Europe in world affairs. The book features essays by prominent Chinese and international experts who offer insightful perspectives on the US-China rivalry, the changing international system, grand strategies and geopolitics, foreign policy, geo-economics and institutions, and military and technological developments.

The chapters in this volume explore how strategic, security, and military considerations within the triangular relationship between the United States, China, and Europe are gradually undermining trade and economics, reversing the era of globalization, and contributing to the breakdown of the US-led liberal order and institutions. The authors examine how the adversarial antagonism in US-China relations, the tension in transatlantic ties, and the increasing rivalry in Europe-China relations are primarily driven by leaders' ambitions or structural power shifts.

This book is a valuable resource for students of Asian security, US foreign policy, European politics, and International Relations in general. It provides a comprehensive analysis of the complex dynamics shaping the world's geopolitical landscape and offers valuable insights into the future of international relations. As the world continues to navigate the challenges and opportunities posed by the power transition between the United States and China, this book will serve as a crucial guide for policymakers, scholars, and anyone interested in understanding the complex dynamics of the global arena.
