Transatlantic Alliance and Sino-US-European Relations in a Changing World

Synopsis:

The United States, China and Europe are the three major strategic forces influencing the adjustment of the international pattern. Studying the interaction among these three and their impacts holds practical significance and academic value. This book takes the 2008 global financial crisis as the research starting point and holds that this crisis accelerated the changes in the world and had a profound influence on the adjustment of the transatlantic alliance and the evolution of the relations among China, the United States and Europe. Through examining the complex adjustments of the transatlantic alliance since the global financial crisis, this book attaches importance to the "China variable" in the adjustment of the US-EU relations and constructs an analytical framework for the relations among China, the United States and Europe, with the aim of presenting a brand-new picture of the adjustment of the transatlantic alliance and the interaction among China, the United States and Europe in the past decade.
