Pontbriand examines how political leaders have shaped America's most significant bilateral relationship through strategic narratives.

Focusing on the Obama and Trump administrations, this book explores how US leaders perceived and narrated the relationship between information technology and interdependence, and how these narratives influenced foreign policy shifts and America's evolving relations with China. By blending international relations theory with narrative analysis, the book offers a deeper insight into how language and storytelling shape foreign policy decisions. The analysis reveals that the stories leaders tell about technology, interdependence, and American-Chinese relations significantly influence long-term strategic direction and policymaking. Through this lens, the book provides critical understanding of the discursive foundations underlying 21st-century great power politics.

A valuable resource for scholars and students of international relations, international communication, strategic studies, and geopolitics as well as policymakers and professionals in the tech-security space.
