Please join us as Dr. Lyle J. Goldstein of the U.S. Naval War College offers his proposals to induce "cooperation spirals" with the United States and China to enable lasting accommodation between the two countries. He will discuss his latest book, Meeting China Halfway: How to Defuse the Emerging US-China Rivalry (Georgetown University Press, 2015), which not only parses findings from the latest American scholarship but also breaks new ground by analyzing hundreds of Chinese-language sources, including military publications, never before evaluated by Western experts.
Lyle J. Goldstein is an associate professor in the Strategic Research Department at the US Naval War College (NWC). He was also the founding director of the NWC's China Maritime Studies Institute. He is the co-editor of numerous volumes including China, the United States, and 21st Century Sea Power, the author of Preventive Attack and Weapons of Mass Destruction, and a regular contributor to The National Interest. He is also a scholar on the Rising Powers Initiative's new research project at the Sigur Center that explores the linkages between energy security and maritime strategies in the Indo-Pacific.
