The rise of China : will states balance, bandwagon, or hedge in the South China Sea today?"The rise of China is changing the strategic landscape globally and regionally. How states respond to potential threats posed by this new power arrangement will be crucial to international relations for the coming decades. This book builds on existing realist and rationalist concepts of balancing, bandwagoning, commitment problems, and asymmetric information to craft explanations about how states respond when faced with potential threats.

Particular focus is paid to the nature of the rising state's actions, the balance of forces, and the value of delay"--Provided by publisher.Rethinking Asia and international relations.Security, InternationalSoutheast AsiaComparative governmentSoutheast AsiaForeign relations21st centurySoutheast AsiaForeign relationsChinaChinaForeign relationsSoutheast AsiaSecurity, InternationalComparative government.355.033059Savic Ivan.Shirkey Zachary CMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910831873403321UNINA
