“The Fourth Policeman: Rethinking Franklin D. Roosevelt’s Vision for China’s Global Role”

The Harvard Center Shanghai organized a talk and reception with Professor of History Erez Manela on August 28, 2015. Professor Manela delivered a presentation on “The Fourth Policeman: Rethinking Franklin D. Roosevelt’s Vision for China’s Global Role”. This presentation showed how exploring the reasons behind Roosevelt’s push to elevate China to great power status throws new light on his thinking about China’s significance in the global arena and its place in his vision for postwar world order.
