Retrench, Defend, Compete: Securing America’s Future Against a Rising China

The debate about U.S. policy toward China hinges on rarely stated judgments about the nature of the challenge. Is China mainly a revisionist or a status quo state? Should the United States keep all its international commitments amid China’s rise? What military posture can best defend those commitments? In Retrench, Defend, Compete, Charles Glaser assesses these first-order questions and promotes an alternative U.S. strategy toward China that would retrench from some U.S. commitments in Asia and bolster others.
