What Do International Relations Theories Predict for the Future of U.S.-China Relations?

What can international relations theories tell us about the most geopolitically consequential bilateral relationship of the next decade? In his chapter for Carnegie American Statecraft Program’s volume on the future of U.S.-China relations, Stephen Walt explores four approaches to analyzing international relations-realism, liberalism, social constructivism, and individual leadership-and identifies what each implies for the U.S.-China relationship in the 2030s.

A good balanced framework if adopted will facilitate coming out of a zero sum game mentality and the growing pessimism that war in inevitable that focuses on peaceful coexistence regardless of the challenges it’s sustenance will involve.

There is no alignment between those four Legos of theoretical isms and realistic conditions. Why? Because the triggers of each underlying condition have nothing to do with any of those isms.
