Chinese Hegemony: Grand Strategy and International Institutions in
East Asian History joins a rapidly growing body of important
literature that combines history and International Relations theory
to create new perspectives on East Asian political and strategic
behavior. The book explores the strategic and institutional
dynamics of international relations in East Asian history when
imperial China was the undisputed regional hegemon, focusing in
depth on two central aspects of Chinese hegemony at the time: the
grand strategies China and its neighbors adopted in their strategic
interactions, and the international institutions they engaged in to
maintain regional order-including but not limited to the tribute
system. Feng Zhang draws on both Chinese and Western intellectual
traditions to develop a relational theory of grand strategy and
fundamental institutions in regional relations. The theory is
evaluated with three case studies of Sino-Korean, Sino-Japanese,
and Sino-Mongol relations during China's early Ming dynasty-when a
type of Confucian expressive strategy was an essential feature of
regional relations. He then explores the policy implications of
this relational model for understanding and analyzing contemporary
China's rise and the changing East Asian order. The book suggests
some historical lessons for understanding contemporary Chinese
foreign policy and considers the possibility of a more relational
and cooperative Chinese strategy in the future.
