This volume analyzes current problems in Sino-American relations in the context of regional and global strategic patterns and their historical development in the last thirty years. These issues - like the international financial crisis, development of global reserve currencies, regional conflicts and competition for international domination - have significant impacts on both world powers, and important implications to the global economy and politics.
