Cambridge, MA: Harvard University Asia Center, 2000. First edition. Hardcover. Very good/very good. Octavo (standard size). Slight wear to edges and corners of boards and dust jacket. 469 p. w/ maps, 2 appendices, endnotes, character list, bibliography, index. A study of Fukien province when it was one of the most prosperous regions of China and the factors that contributed to its prosperity., Harvard University Asia Center, 2000, 3, Stanford, CA: Stanford University Press, 2006. Original printing [stated]. Hardcover. Good/Very good. xi, [1], 268 pages. Figures. Tables. Notes. Bibliography. Index. Ink marks to text noted. Lyle J. Goldstein is Visiting Professor at the Watson Institute for International and Public Affairs at Brown University. At Brown, he is investigating the costs of great power competition with both China and Russia in association with the Costs of War Project at Watson. He is also assisting in the further development of Watson?s China Initiative. Goldstein serves concurrently as Director of Asia Engagement at the Washington think-tank Defense Priorities, which advocates for realism and restraint in U.S. defense policy. In this role, he is overseeing a range of studies that evaluate U.S. foreign policy and defense strategy in the Asia-Pacific region, including with respect to such key flashpoints as the Korean Peninsula, the South China Sea, the Sino-Indian border, and also the status of Taiwan. He maintains expertise in both Chinese and Russian military strategic development, and also has expertise on particular issues in the China-Russia relationship, including especially the Arctic and also Central Asia. In Oct. 2021, Goldstein retired after 20 years of service on the faculty at the U.S. Naval War College after being promoted to the rank of Full Professor. During his career at NWC, he founded the China Maritime Studies Institute and has been awarded the Superior Civilian Service Medal. He has written or edited seven books on Chinese strategy and continues to work on a book length project that examines the nature of China-Russia relations in the 21st century. Goldstein has his Ph.D. from Princeton. The controversial Bush doctrine of preemptive war is often described as revolutionary. In fact, as this comparative study of rivalries involving weapons of mass destruction (WMD) shows, notions of preventive and preemptive war have long been closely tied to such weapons. In this study, a wealth of historical data is analyzed to address the fundamental question that WMD proliferation raises for U.S. defense policy: will the projection of U.S. power be deterred by nascent WMD arsenals in the hands of rogue states? This wide-ranging comparison yields the conclusion that small WMD arsenals do not have the deterrent effects often attributed to them by scholars and analysts. These theorists ignore history's close calls, an oversight we share at our peril., Stanford University Press, 2006, 2.75<
