China and the US: Financial Crisis and the Flushing of Toilets

In his latest article for Elcano, Miguel summarises scholarly debates at the ISA conference on the rise of China, it’s relations with the US, and the possibility of future financial crises.
The IR debate on China is fairly predictable, the realists are convinced that military conflict between China and the US is inevitable, while the liberals argue that the liberal institutional framework that we have built since WWII is resilient and flexible enough to accommodate a rising power such as China. Nothing new there. The IPE debate is more sophisticated.
