<br/><br/> While the nature of the future relationship between the United States and China is, according to this article, unknowable at the present time, there is little doubt that it will be the most significant bilateral relationship for the next several decades. Different theoretical perspectives are explored in this paper, which concludes by noting that at the start of the twentieth century many observers optimistically predicted that Britain and Germany would inevitably be drawn more closely together. That this would be achieved only after two catastrophic wars was not anticipated.
