Prof Hao Yufan, dean of the University of Macau’s\n(UM) Faculty of Social Sciences, has launched two news books on Sino-US\nrelations, namely Sino-US Energy\nTriangles: Resource Diplomacy under Hegemony <\/i>and Rethinking the Triangle: Washington-Beijing-Taipei<\/i>. <\/p>
Published by Routledge and co-edited by Prof Hao\nYufan and Prof David Zweig from the Hong Kong University of Science and\nTechnology, Sino-US<\/i> Energy Triangles: Resource Diplomacy under\nHegemony<\/i> seeks to understand how China as a rising power interacts with the\nUnited States, the existing leading power, in their competition in the resource-rich\ncountries. This competition between the US and China generates triangular\nrelations among them with the resource-rich countries. This book is the first\nof its kind to look into an unstudied but important area of US-China relations,\nand provides a valuable addition to existing literature on China\u2019s foreign\npolicy, Sino-US relations, global energy competition, and China\u2019s growing\nimportance in international energy politics. It will be a worthwhile read for\nscholars in related fields and energy industry practitioners alike.<\/p>
The other book, Rethinking\nthe Triangle: Washington-Beijing-Taipei<\/i>, was published by World Scientific\nand co-edited by Prof Hao and Prof Brantly Womack from the University of\nVirginia. The book provides insightful views on what actions could be taken to\nincrease mutual benefits rather than confrontation among the United States,\nChina, and Taiwan. The book explores a new paradigm for the three parties’\ninterrelationships based on inclusiveness and opportunity rather than each\nhedging against increasingly unlikely crises. Rather than focusing only on\nAmerican policy options, the book treats the most important triangular\ninteraction in Asia from the standpoint of each of its participants, illustrated\nby an expert from each country.<\/p>
