The Rise of China and International Security
This edited volume offers diverse and comprehensive views of Chinas rise and its implications for the East Asian region and beyond.
The economic growth of China, initially started in the late 1970s with domestic and rural reforms, has been increasingly driven by Chinas industrialization and integration into the regional and global markets. The growth and integration of China, however, has exposed Chinas closest neighbors and even more remote countries to its various (previously internal) problems, and the lagging political openness of China has often negatively impacted on cooperation with other countries in dealing with these problems (i.e. transborder pollution, epidemics, illegal migration, organized crime, financial management, etc.). This book integrates geopolitical and domestic political analysis of China with a broad set of transnational security issues, and includes a diversity of regional views. In doing so, it explores further than the dichotomous debate between the American realists and liberals, adding finesse to the often simplified discussions on how to deal with the rising China.
This book will be of interest to students of Asian Politics, Security Studies and International Relations.

Few regions of the world are fraught with as many security questions as Asia. Within this region it is possible to study great power rivalries, irredentist conflicts, nuclear and ballistic missile proliferation, secessionist movements, ethno-religious conflicts and interstate wars. This book series publishes the best possible scholarship on the security issues affecting the region, and includes detailed empirical studies, theoretically oriented case studies and policyrelevant analyses as well as more general works.
