Cooperative Opportunity

Abstract

United States (US) joint military doctrine describes competition between great powers as a continuum ranging from cooperation to competition to conflict. In most cases the US military thinks of and promotes cooperation with like-minded allies and partners against competitors. However, this paper seeks to answer what areas exist where the US could deescalate competitive tensions with the People's Republic of China (PRC) while creating avenues to keep communication open and reduce misunderstanding or miscalculation. This paper examines two areas of cooperation to potentially pursue on a course of engagement with the PRC. Mutually beneficial space exploration is a new area for cooperation with the PRC and climate change security is an area where some dialogue already occurs but should increase.
