Reviews for Transition Scenarios
"While there is no shortage of books concerned with US-China relations and the potential for conflict with China's rise, Transition Scenarios is the first to systematically employ a scenario-building or 'forward reasoning' methodology-and it does so carefully and to great effect, advancing a growing literature in the field of international relations." (Steve Chan, University of Colorado)"
