How are subnational actors in the United States and China shaping great-power rivalry? What explains dramatic shifts over time and variation across U.S. states and localities in patterns of cooperation and confrontation with China? Who are the key actors driving these changes, and what impact have their efforts had? Kyle Jaros will explore these questions in his new book project (co-authored with Sara A. Newland) on U.S.-China subnational diplomacy amid rising geopolitical tensions. Drawing on over 120 elite interviews, detailed case studies of four U.S. states, and newly compiled data from all 50 states, they map and explain patterns of state-level cooperation and confrontation toward China since 2012.
