Thesis (Ph.D.)--The Johns Hopkins University, 1990.

This is a case study of Anglo-American relations in the Far East. It is a result of both archival research and historiographical study. It criticizes the predominant American scholarship in studying Sino-American relations during the period, pointing out that most of the studies are still under the spell of the "Impact-Response" paradigm as represented by the Fairbank-Reischauer school of East Asian studies. It also tries to disprove the myth of the "Special Relationship" theory that usually describes the Anglo-American relations. It draws particular attention to the general tendency in the West to explain the Cold War purely from the US-Soviet perspective. The rest of what had happened during the period are usually depicted as epiphenomena of the grand struggle between the superpowers.Subjects--Topical Terms:

520 $a This is a case study of Anglo-American relations in the Far East. It is a result of both archival research and historiographical study. It criticizes the predominant American scholarship in studying Sino-American relations during the period, pointing out that most of the studies are still under the spell of the "Impact-Response" paradigm as represented by the Fairbank-Reischauer school of East Asian studies. It also tries to disprove the myth of the "Special Relationship" theory that usually describes the Anglo-American relations. It draws particular attention to the general tendency in the West to explain the Cold War purely from the US-Soviet perspective. The rest of what had happened during the period are usually depicted as epiphenomena of the grand struggle between the superpowers.
520 $a Based on archival resources, this study attempts to seek a historical pattern through a cobweb of enormously complicated events. Looking beyond the Cold War, this study concludes that the traditional rivalry between Britain and the United States in the Far East had by no means disappeared and the Soviet Union had contributed very little to the Anglo-American conflict that reflected their geopolitical as well as economic differences.
520 $a Such a perspective helps re-define the objectives of both Britain and the United States during the Cold War period. It was tacitly understood on both sides of the Atlantic at the time that America was about to succeed the British position by building up a new liberal order of the world. To London, this was meant to be the end of the British role as a world class power. The case in China certainly indicates the totally different world views of the two. More interestingly, their Far Eastern policies during the period were perfectly paralleled by their policies in Europe. These policies had conditioned each other. It would be difficult to comprehend their conflict over the future of Europe without a global picture.
