Rising China's Influence in Developing Asia (Hardcover)

Rising China has been reshaping world order for the last two
decades, but this volume argues that we cannot accurately
understand rising China's global impacts without first
investigating whether and how its growing power resources are
translated into actual influence over other states' choices and
policies. Concentrating on the developing countries in East and
South Asia, where the power asymmetry is greatest and China ought
to have the biggest influence, the volume investigates China's
influence in bilateral relationships, and on key political actors
from these countries within key issue areas and international
institutions. Using an influence framework, the volume demonstrates
how China tends to try to gain the support of smaller and weaker
countries without forcing them to change their preferences or to
act against their own interests. China does purposefully coerce,
induce, or persuade others to behave in certain ways, but whether
and the extent to which it succeeds is determined as much by the
reactions, political context and decision-making processes of the
target states, as it is by how skilfully Chinese actors deploy
these tools. The contributors detail how China's influence even
over these weaker states does not result from easy applications of
power; rather it tends to be mediated through the competing
interests of target state actors, the imperatives of other existing
security and economic relationships, and more complex strategic
thinking than we might expect. The book's findings carry lessons
for conceptual refinement, as well as policy implications for those
coping with China's reshaping of international order.
