Chinas Power and Asian Security
One of the most significant factors for contemporary international relations is the growth of Chinas economic, military, and political power. Indeed, few analysts would dispute the observation that Chinas power has strongly influenced the structure of the international system, major-power strategic relations, international security, the patterns of trans-border economic activities, and most importantly, the political and security dynamics in Asia in the twenty-first century.
This book maps the growth of Chinas political, economic, and military capabilities and its impact on the security order in Asia over the coming decades. While updating the emerging power dimensions and prevailing discourse, it provides a nuanced analysis of whether the growth of Chinese power is resulting in Beijing becoming more assertive, or even aggressive, in its behavior and pursuit of national interests. It also examines how the key Asian countries perceive and react to the growth of Chinas power and how US rebalancing would play out in the context of Beijings political, economic, and military power.
Chinas Power and Asian Security will be of huge interest to students and scholars of Asian politics, Chinese politics, security studies, and international security and international relations more generally.
