Rappresentazione e ipotesi dello scontro Stati Uniti-Cina

Thanks to bullish economic growth, in the last decade China has acquired a global role that induces many experts to speculation about Beijing’s efforts to rest global primacy from the US, especially in the current phase of the international system – one of uni-multipolar transition. This study’s aim is to examine existing literature about real or contingent possibilities of armed conflict between China and the US, in league with the competition for economic, geopolitical and ideological primacy. At the same time some hypothetical scenarios, taken from the most recent literature, on the potential development of the China-US contest, will be analyzed.
