Abstract

The paper examined the frontiers of power struggle between incumbent US and an ascending China and its implications on global peace and stability. The paper is based on synthesis of empirical literature. The rivalry between the US and China has manifested itself in various fronts including trade and investment; technology and innovation; military and strategic concerns; human rights and ideologies; global influence and diplomacy, among others. Such rivalry has implications for global peace and stability in terms of disruptions in global supply chains and International Trade; Political dependence and shrinking political space for other states; cybersecurity and information warfare and Geo- Geopolitical tension.
