Learning from the Stones: A Go Approach to Mastering China's Strategic Concept, Shi (Advancing Strategic Thought Series)

Description

Most U.S. political and military leaders are aware of the difference in strategic thinking and international behavior between the United States and China. Many have also studied Sun Tzu’s Art of War and can recite the Chinese master strategist’s famous saying: “Know the enemy and know yourself, in a hundred battles you will never be in peril.” However, few really understand the essence of the difference. The author introduces a new approach to learning about the different ways of strategic thinking and interaction in Chinese culture. It is through learning the Chinese board game called go. This game is a living refl ection of Chinese philosophy, culture, strategic thinking, warfare, military tactics, and diplomatic bargaining. The author also sheds light on the remarkable connection between go and the strategic concepts in Sun Tzu’s Art of War. A modest claim is made in this writing that a little knowledge of go will take U.S. leaders a long way in understanding the essence of the Chinese way of war and diplomacy. DAVID LAI is on the faculty of the U.S. Air War College. He earned his Ph.D. in Political Science from the University of Colorado in 1997. Prior to his graduate study at the University of Colorado, Lai was a diplomat in the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Dr. Lai’s teaching and research interests are in international relations theory, war and peace studies, comparative foreign policy, Asian security affairs, and Chinese politics. He has published widely in his teaching and research subject areas and is currently writing on issues related to the China-Taiwan question, U.S.-Asian relations, and Chinese strategic thinking.
