Description
Summary:This book delivers maco-level analysis of the geostrategic, geoeconomic, technological and military context of the competition between the United States and China for superiority in military technology and analyzes micro-level case studies of specific contested domains and technological sectors. It reveals a China committed to the rapid development of asymmetric technological capabilities that will allow it to respond to the perceived threat of the Third Offset without being drawn into an economically crippling arms race. It proposes that in response the United States should seek to gain its own asymmetric advantage across the geographic, technological and doctrinal domains. This is an important book for those in security studies and international relations.
