How has world order changed since the Cold War ended? Do we live in
an age of American empire, or is global power shifting to the East
with the rise of China? Arguing that existing ideas about balance
of power and power transition are inadequate, this book gives an
innovative reinterpretation of the changing nature of U.S. power,
focused on the 'order transition' in East Asia. Hegemonic power is
based on both coercion and consent, and hegemony is crucially
underpinned by shared norms and values. Thus hegemons must
constantly legitimize their unequal power to other states. In
periods of strategic change, the most important political dynamics
centre on this bargaining process, conceived here as the
negotiation of a social compact. This book studies the
re-negotiation of this consensual compact between the U.S., China,
and other states in post-Cold War East Asia. It analyses
institutional bargains to constrain and justify power; attempts to
re-define the relationship between a regional community and the
global economic order; the evolution of great power authority in
regional conflict management, and the salience of competing justice
claims in memory disputes. It finds that U.S. hegemony has been
established in East Asia after the Cold War mainly because of the
complicity of key regional states. But the new social compact also
makes room for rising powers and satisfies smaller states'
insecurities. The book controversially proposes that the East Asian
order is multi-tiered and hierarchical, led by the U.S. but
incorporating China, Japan, and other states in the layers below
it.
