Unfortunately, less time was spent considering how globalization, and China's multidimensional entry into the world system, would require change in America itself. This oversight contributed to two problems. Internationally, it turned the United States into a global nanny, telling others how they ought to proceed in making the domestic adjustments globalization seemingly required of them, without paying due attention to the implications for ourselves. Domestically, Americans became complacent about maintaining and enhancing the infrastructure of our own national competitiveness, particularly human capital. Because of its size, rate of change, unanticipated success and political coloration, China has become the poster child for those aspects of globalization that threaten the United States." (NATIONAL INTEREST) The author considers these four questions: "To start, why and how has the dominant paradigm about China changed in the last few years? Second, what debate has this shift unleashed in U.S. policy and academic circles? Third, in what respect is China a competitor to the United States and others? And finally, what should the United States and China do to make that competition as constructive as possible?"| Item type | Current location | Call number | Status | Date due |
