Abstract

The work "The United States' Subnational Relations with Divided China: A Constructivist Approach to Paradiplomacy" by Czeslaw Tubilewicz and Natalie Omond investigates the paradiplomatic relations between subnational entities of the United States and China and Taiwan during the period from 1949 to 2020. With eleven chapters, the first two being theoretical and the others case studies, the book offers a new perspective on the U.S. involvement in the China-Taiwan conflict. The constructivist approach of the work deepens the understanding of the internal dimension of the state, showing that subnational interests and identities are relevant to their actions in the dynamics of paradiplomacy, as well as shaping roles in foreign policy. By examining the relations between U.S. subnational entities and the Asian countries, the text reveals the complexity of international interactions and the role that subnational governments can play internationally.
