Many in the West seem to believe that the post- Cold War period marked a change in how great powers interact with one another. We have entered a world in which principles rather than power considerations seem to guide US national interest. The post- Cold War period has seen the United States becoming the most powerful country in the world. It has also witnessed the immense rise of China to a great power. The United States and China can neither be described as true allies nor as true enemies. Throughout the years, the US-China relationship has been generally stable and calm with some periods of tension, but no serious conflicts with far-stretching consequences appeared. However, the current relationship between the US and China is complex and multifaceted. In 2011, Barack Obama introduced a pivot of US foreign policy towards the Asia Pacific region. This policy change will have consequences for the relationship between the US and China. Drawing upon an offensive neorealist approach, this book will analyze the US pivot to the Asia Pacific region, arguing that that despite the liberal rhetoric of a rebalancing policy, its actions are driven by Cold War thinking of power maximization.
