Sally K. Burt examines President Franklin Roosevelt?s methods of conducting diplomacy, particularly his tendency to centralise foreign policy-making into his own hands, as it applied to wartime Sino-US relations. By critiquing the president?s foreign policy leadership with China, Burt provides a new perspective on US diplomacy and opens the door for further exploration of contemporary methods of conducting relations between the US and China. This book, then, will interest scholars, historians, international relations specialists and practitioners and those interested in global politics, both historical and in the present day. 410 0$aStudies in East Asian security and international relations ;$vVolume 3. 606 $aWorld War, 1939-1945$xDiplomatic history 607 $aUnited States$xForeign relations$zChina 607 $aChina$xForeign relations$zUnited States 607 $aUnited States$xForeign relations$y1933-1945 615 0$aWorld War, 1939-1945$xDiplomatic history. 676 $a327.7305109/04 700 $aBurt$b Sally$f1980-$01535368 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910797261403321 996 $aAt the president's pleasure$93783519 997 $aUNINA
