Though wary of China's rapid rise, her neighbors have considerable
experience of dealing with unequal power without surrendering their
autonomy. For its part, China has a long memory of unequal or
"tributary" relations and a relatively brief and turbulent
experience of working within the current useful fiction of
"sovereign equality" in international relations. The emerging
pattern will have to take account of the great discrepancy in
economic and military power between the future China and her
neighbours, and of how such asymmetry can be managed peacefully.
Negotiating Asymmetry explores how the real or imagined norms
governing past relations may shape China's future position in the
region by considering how relationships have changed over the past
two centuries. The volume argues that neither the "Chinese world
order" of tribute relations nor the Westphalia model of sovereign
equality ever operated effectively in Asia, but suggests that the
past does offer strong indicators about the shape of a new order in
Asia.
