By systematically examining the development of power dynamics in Asia-Pacific, it challenges the notion that a wealthier and militarily more powerful China is automatically turning the regional tides in its favour. With a special emphasis on Sino-US competition, the book explores the alleged linkage between the regional distribution of relevant material and immaterial capabilities, national power and the much-cited regional power shift. The book presents a novel concept for measuring power in international relations by outlining a composite index on aggregated power (CIAP) that includes 55 variables for 44 regional countries and covers a period of twenty years. Moreover, it develops a middle power theory that outlines the significance of middle powers in times of major power shifts. By addressing political, military and economic cooperation via a structured-focused comparison and by applying a comparative-historical analysis, the book analyses in depth the bilateral relations of six regional middle powers to Washington and Beijing. .Global Power Shift,2198-7343International relationsAsia—Politics and governmentAsia—Economic conditionsUnited States—Politics and governmentInternational Relationshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/912000Asian Politicshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/911110Asian Economicshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/W45010US Politicshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/911180International relations.Asia—Politics and government.Asia—Economic conditions.United States—Politics and government.International Relations.Asian Politics.Asian Economics.US Politics.327Fels Enricoauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut960391MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910255300103321Shifting Power in Asia-Pacific2177099UNINA04995nam 22007215 450 991104767040332120251009130615.03-032-07715-X10.1007/978-3-032-07715-8(MiAaPQ)EBC32337010(Au-PeEL)EBL32337010(CKB)41597851100041(DE-He213)978-3-032-07715-8(EXLCZ)994159785110004120251009d2026 u| 0engurcnu||||||||txtrdacontentcrdamediacrrdacarrierSocial, Cultural, and Behavioral Modeling 18th International Conference, SBP-BRiMS 2025, Pittsburgh, PA, USA, October 14–17, 2025, Proceedings /edited by Robert Thomson, Scott Renshaw, Samer Al-khateeb, Annetta Burger, Patrick Park, Aryn A Pyke1st ed. 2026.Cham :Springer Nature Switzerland :Imprint: Springer,2026.1 online resource (396 pages)Lecture Notes in Computer Science,1611-3349 ;161273-032-07714-1 -- Advancements in Tools and Theory. -- Echoes of Automation: The Increasing Use of LLMs in Newsmaking. -- Are LLM-Powered Social Media Bots Realistic?. -- Measuring Trends in Identity Transition Using Social Media Bios: A Methodology and Proof of Concept. -- A New Lens on Homelessness: Daily Tent Monitoring with 311 Calls and Street Images. -- Tied to Place: Geographic Origins of Tie Survival. -- Sentiment and Social Signals in the Climate Crisis: A Survey on Analyzing Social Media Responses to Extreme Weather Events. -- Network Analysis of Attack Flows in Ransomware Groups and Campaigns. -- Extending the BEND Framework to Webgraphs. -- Analyzing Adversarial Strategies and Countermeasures for Cyberbullying Detection. -- Analyzing Conspiratorial Content Across Singapore-Based Telegram Groups. -- Analyzing Democratic Trust Through Symbolic Communication: A Case Study of Taiwan’s Presidential Election. -- Crisis Emotions at Scale: Uncovering Periodic Emotional Patterns of Humans and Bots During the Early COVID-19 Pandemic. -- Data-Driven Approaches. -- Evaluating Visual and Behavioral Signals of Deception in Real-World Contexts. -- EVRAG: Enhanced Video Retrieval-Augmented Generation for Democratized Social Computing. -- Toward a More Unified ACT-R Cognitive Architecture. -- A Framework for Comparing Vertex-Distribution Graphs: Insights for Social and Conflict Studies. -- Structure, Semantics, and Attraction: Analyzing Homophily in Recommender Networks. -- Toward Evaluating Network Confidence Intervals. -- Star Network Motifs on X during COVID-19. -- Trolling and Online Sadism Among Trump and Harris Voters. -- Examining Generational Influence in Online Toxicity: ContextDependent Patterns in Health and Political Discours. -- Promoting Social Corrections: A Media Literacy Intervention for Misinformation on Social Media. -- Can Typos Cause Harm?
