Existing accounts of the rapprochement focus on the shifting balance of power between the USA, China and the Soviet Union, but in this book Goh argues that they cannot adequately explain the timing and policy choices related to Washington's decisions for reconciliation with Beijing. Instead, she applies a more historically sensitive approach that privileges contending official American constructions of China's identity and character. This book demonstrates that ideas of reconciliation with China were already being propagated and debated within official circles in the USA during the 1960s. It traces the related policy discourse and imagery, and examines their continuities and evolution into the early 1970s that facilitated Nixon's new policy. 607 $aUnited States$xForeign relations$zChina 607 $aChina$xForeign relations$zUnited States 607 $aUnited States$xForeign relations$y1961-1963 607 $aUnited States$xForeign relations$y1963-1969 607 $aUnited States$xForeign relations$y1969-1974 676 $a327.73051/09/046 700 $aGoh$b Evelyn$0609017 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910457565503321 996 $aConstructing the U.S. rapprochement with China, 1961-1974$92225584 997 $aUNINA
