| Abstract
|
:
|
"In this analysis, Radha Sinha presents a critique of America's political culture and its China policy and examines the reasons for the mismatch between American professed values of freedom, equality and democracy, and its statecraft in practice. This mismatch, and America's relentless search for enemies, has led to increasing disenchantment sometimes bordering on hatred. Sinha argues that, in reaction to the September 11 carnage, President George W. Bush has bolstered military expenditure, given wide latitude to the secret services and undermined constitutional liberties. Bush has also embraced undemocratic regimes with dubious human rights records. Such actions, by deepening the distrust of America, must further endanger American security. Given these circumstances, the author argues it is imperative that the American leadership reinstates policies that are consistent with American founding values in order to achieve a genuine partnership with China and other nations as a precondition of global peace and security."--BOOK JACKET.
