China's rise is changing the dynamics of the international
system. "Middle Powers and the Rise of China" is the first work to
examine how the group of states referred to as "middle powers" are
responding to China's growing economic, diplomatic, and military
power. States with capabilities immediately below those of great
powers, middle powers still exercise influence far above most other
states. Their role as significant trading partners and allies or
adversaries in matters of regional security, nuclear proliferation,
and global governance issues such as human rights and climate
change are reshaping international politics.
Contributors review middle-power relations with China in the
cases of South Korea, Malaysia, Thailand, Indonesia, Australia,
South Africa, Turkey, and Brazil, addressing how these diverse
nations are responding to a rising China, the impact of Chinese
power on each, and whether these states are being attracted to
China or deterred by its new power and assertiveness. Chapters also
explore how much (or how little) China, and for comparison the US,
value middle powers and examine whether or not middle powers can
actually shape China's behavior. By bringing a new analytic
approach to a key issue in international politics, this unique
treatment of emerging middle powers and the rise of China will
interest scholars and students of international relations, security
studies, China, and the diverse countries covered in the book.
