Abstract

ABSTRACT The U.S.–China relationship will be of profound consequence to the geopolitics of the twenty-first century. Recognizing the propensity for rising powers to come into conflict with established great powers, China has proposed a “New Type of Great Power Relations” in hopes of avoiding conflict with the United States. While officials in Beijing and Washington appear to be comfortable with the label, the concept's lack of substantive recommendations for engagement severely limits its strategic impact. Given that the potential for cooperation, competition, and conflict largely stems from U.S.–China interaction in the global commons, this article calls for both sides to jointly develop a common conceptual basis to improve cooperation and to manage areas of disagreement.
