讲座主题
Recently, there has been much speculation about whether another Cold War between East and West is coming. But are we really returning to the past?The Cold War, at its core was an ideological contest between capitalism and socialism that had been going on throughout the twentieth century, with each side fervently dedicated to its system of economics and governance. Today’s international affairs are in large part murky and challenging, but they are a far cry from Cold War absolutes. Yet, increasing tensions between the US and China is causing great concern among academics and policy-makers. Nowadays, China believes that its unprecedented economic growth has given it the status of a predominant power, and many Chinese believe China is free to act on its own behalf now. While the situation is more complicated than what people used to think. When ideology is no longer the main determinant and nationalism is on the rise. What will happen to the world structure? What will happen to Sino-US relations? Are rising US tensions with China signs of a return to the Cold War? Professor Arne Westad, a prominent expert of Cold War history from Harvard University will examine the historical origins of US-China relations, and to show how perceived lessons from the past will influences thinking about the present, and the future.
