DESCRIPTION:When and why does major power cooperation decline? Jost explor
 es how regime security threats can impede cooperation between the world’
 s most powerful countries. Political crises at home and abroad incentivize
  decision-makers to build institutions\, organizations\, and ideologies th
 at restore control. However\, these actions can impose indirect and unanti
 cipated governance costs for other major powers\, thereby undermining coop
 eration through competitive regime building and elevated threat perception
 s. Jost applies this theoretical framework to explain the decline of coope
 ration between the United States and China from 2013 to 2018. Drawing on a
 n original corpus of Chinese strategic assessments and elite speeches\, as
  well as over one hundred elite interviews conducted in both countries\, J
 ost’s analysis challenges the conventional wisdom that China’s militar
 y and economic rise led to the end of US–China engagement\, instead illu
 strating the important role played by regime security threats.\n\nTyler Jo
 st is an Assistant Professor of Political Science at Brown University. His
  research focuses on national security decision-making\, major power polit
 ics\, and Chinese foreign policy. His work has been published in The China
  Quarterly\, International Organization\, International Security\, Journal
  of Conflict Resolution\, and International Studies Quarterly. Jost’s fi
 rst book\, Bureaucracies at War\, won the Edgar S. Furniss Book Award from
  the Mershon Center for International Security\, the Robert Jervis Interna
 tional Security Book Award and the Herbert A. Simon Book Award from the Am
 erican Political Science Association\, as well as the Asia-Pacific Disting
 uished Book Award from the International Studies Association. He is curren
 tly working on a second book examining major power cooperation in the mode
 rn era\, focusing on the evolution of US–China relations since 1989. Jos
 t completed his doctoral degree in the Department of Government at Harvard
  University and has held fellowships at the John F. Kennedy School of Gove
 rnment\, Columbia University\, and Dartmouth College.
