Summary: A Great Compilation of Views
Comment: Don't expect any surprising conclusions. This book is basically a compilation of various Chinese perspectives of the US and US perspectives of China put into a historically chronological context as they were conceived in the 1990s. Like any good IR scholar, Lampton has structured its presentation into the three levels of analysis: structural, state, and individual. This is all preceded by a historical background that introduces the reader to the flow of events and incidents as they unfolded. The point of the book does not seem to be the construction of a grand framework to understand US-Sino relations, but rather it is an honest and objective portrayal of each side's perception of itself and each other. Chapter 6. "The Stories We Tell Ourselves" is absolutely outstanding in that regard.
Rating: 5
Summary: BALANCED LOOK AT A DIFFICULT RELATIONSHIP
Comment: Lampton writes from a perspective unencombered by the black and white thinking that often dominates both our domestic politics and other popular books on the subject. I found it a facinating insiders look at a relationship that will continue to be rewarding, challenging, and very important to the world political scene.
Rating: 1
Summary: Bought and paid for
Comment: Lampton is completely predictable. He is an apologist and seeks to justify each dreadful Chinese action against human rights with the promise of US jobs.
Lampton has never had any credibilty and never will with this book out
