American Eagle, Chinese Dragon: Strategy, Law, and Power in U.S.-China Relations
China, the world's largest and richest country, rises. What will the US and Europe do? For example, is Vietnam now a sound investment -- or a dangerous gamble? Such questions shape international business, foreign policy, and strategy today. Answers are here.
In American Eagle, Chinese Dragon, Dr. Eric Engle, a distinguished scholar of international law and comparative politics, provides a powerful framework for understanding the U.S.-China rivalry. This book is essential reading for legal professionals, policymakers, and scholars who want to grasp the geopolitical, economic, and legal dimensions of Sino-American relations.
Using a lawyer's precision and a strategist's clarity, Dr. Engle breaks down the Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats (SWOT) shaping America's engagement with China and Asia at large. You'll gain insight into Chinese foreign policy, global trade disputes, intellectual property conflicts, soft power diplomacy, and the future of world governance.
This is a substantive, authoritative guide to the legal and philosophical foundations of China's rise -- and the options available to the West in response. By blending international trade law, diplomatic strategy, and comparative governance, this book gives you the intellectual tools to assess global risks and opportunities with professional rigor.
Inside you will quickly understand:
• How Chinese ideology and governance shape foreign relations and international business law
• The role of soft power and economic statecraft in China's rise
• The challenges facing the United States and Europe in responding to China's strategy
• Why exogenous shocks -- wars, pandemics, financial crises -- reshape trade and investment law more profoundly than routine market shifts
Whether you are advising clients on cross-border investment, studying international relations, or seeking to understand the future of U.S.-China competition, this book provides clarity, authority, and depth.

• Written with the intellectual rigor expected by lawyers, judges, and academics
