Griffith Asia Insitute - Reserach Seminar
‘China – US Relations: Reassessment’
Presented by: Dr Bates Gill, CEO, US Studies Centre, University of Sydney
Dr Gill’s presentation will focus on the implications of China’s rise for relations with the United States and for regional security. In spite of much evidence to the contrary, strategic assessments continue to posit a dramatic "power transition" underway in which a rising China will overtake the United States to become the predominant power in the Asia-Pacific. Dr Gill will raise a number of issues to reassess the longer-term prospects for China's future, in particular in comparison to the United States, and discuss the implications of this reassessment for future US-China relations and future stability in the region.
Dr Bates Gill commenced as CEO of the US Studies Centre in October 2012 after a five year appointment as the Director of the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute. He previously led major China- and Asia-related research programmes at public policy think tanks in Washington, DC (Brookings Institution and Center for Strategic and International Studies) and in Monterey, California (Monterey Institute of International Studies). In 1992-93 he held the Fei Yiming Chair in Comparative Politics at the Johns Hopkins University Center for Chinese and American Studies. He is the author or editor of seven books—including, most recently, Governing the Bomb: Civilian Control and Democratic Accountability of Nuclear Weapons (Oxford: 2010) and Rising Star: China’s New Security Diplomacy(Brookings: revd ed 2010), and is the author of over 150 other monographs, peer-reviewed articles, and other published works. In 2013 he was awarded with the Royal Order of the Commander of the Polar Star, the highest medal bestowed upon foreigners by the Swedish monarch, for his services to Sweden.
