Summary/Abstract: The current relations between the United States and China are multifaceted and multidimensional – they cannot be put in the strict framework created by the researchers but at the same time they give the opportunity for broad interpretation and analysis. Reading the articles contained in „The United States - China: Towards Bipolarity?” monograph leads to conviction that the ongoing debate on the role of the U.S. and China is currently one of the most important for international relations researchers and observers. Forecasting the end of American domination in the world implies questions which state (or group of states) is capable of playing this role. China is often indicated as a power which would be able to take over the primacy from the U.S. in many aspects of the global economy being more and more active politically and economically in all regions of the world. The concept of multipolarity is confronted with the prospect of a specific bipolarity, based not only on cooperation, but also on the rivalry between the United States and China, as well as the high interdependence of these powers.
