The success of U.S. President Joe Biden s China policy also depends on how the United States changes, said Joseph S. Nye, a well-known U.S. expert.
In an article published recently on the website of Project Syndicate, Nye called the U.S.-China relationship a cooperative rivalry , in which, he said, the terms of competition will require equal attention to both sides of oxymoron.
A key to gauging the success of Biden s China policy will be whether the two powers can cooperate in producing global public goods , when competing in other areas, he said.
Thucydides attributed the war that ripped apart the ancient Greek world to two causes: the rise of Athenian power, and the fear that this created in the established power, Sparta. To prevent a new cold or hot war, the US and China must avoid exaggerated fears and misperceptions about changing power relations.
Can art be used as a tool towards achieving international peace, or is cultural diplomacy just another tool of international propaganda? How has art been used by great powers in the past? And how can the Czech Republic channel its rich cultural heritage to improve its image abroad? These are some of the questions being tackled in the new podcast Jazzman versus špioni (Jazzman versus Spies) created by the Czech Centres abroad and the Institute of International Studies at Charles University.
Coined by American political scientist Joseph S. Nye in the 1990s in order to help explain the sudden and unexpected victory of the United States in the Cold War, “cultural diplomacy” is still a relatively young term in the art of foreign policy. However, this does not mean that it is a new policy concept.
CAMBRIDGE How Joe Biden handles China will be one of the defining issues of his presidency. He inherits a Sino-American relationship that is at its lowest point in 50 years. Some people blame this on his predecessor, Donald Trump. But Trump merits blame for pouring gasoline on a fire. It was China’s leaders who lit and kindled the flames.
