Paper Summary:
Uses social theory to analyze the crisis caused by the mid-air collision of a U.S spy plane and a Chinese fighter jet on April 1, 2001. Examines the conflict theory of Karl Marx and interaction theory of Georg Simmel. Discusses economics as a driving force (Marx) and human interaction (Simmel). Explores issues of who caused the crash; sovreign aerial territory, political ideology, personal and international interaction.From the Paper:
"This study will examine the crisis following the mid-air collision of a U.S. spy plane and a Chinese fighter jet over international waters off the coast of China. The crisis, with its many ambiguities, uncertainties and ramifications, lends itself to analysis based on the ideas of conflict theorist Karl Marx and interaction theorist Georg Simmel.The crisis is a fascinating subject for inquiry based on social theory because it involved not only the individuals on the two planes (including the deceased Chinese pilot who apparently caused the collision--if we are to believe the American version), but also the two powerful nations of the United States and China. The crisis had a number of factors which are wide open to controversy, from the cause of the collision to the question of international territory to the issue of intelligence gathering."
