This book examines China's relations with its weak peripheral
states through the theoretical lens of structural power and
structural violence. China's foreign policy concepts toward its
weak neighbouring states, such as the 'One Belt, One Road'
strategy, are premised on the assumption that economic exchange and
a commitment to common development are the most effective means of
ensuring stability on its borders. This book, however, argues that
China's overreliance on economic exchange as the basis for its
bilateral relations contains inherently self-defeating qualities
that have contributed and can further contribute to instability and
insecurity within China's periphery. Unequal economic exchange
between China and its weak neighbours results in Chinese influence
over the state's domestic institutions, what this book refers to as
'structural power'. Chinese structural power, in turn, can
undermine the state's development, contribute to social unrest, and
exacerbate existing state/society tensions-what this book refers to
as 'structural violence'. For China, such outcomes lead to
instability within its peripheral environment and raise its
vulnerability to security threats stemming from nationalism,
separatism, terrorism, transnational organised crime, and drug
trafficking, among others. This book explores the causality between
China's economically-reliant foreign policy and insecurity in its
weak peripheral states and considers the implications for China's
security environment and foreign policy. This book will be of much
interest to students of Chinese politics, Asian security studies,
international political economy and IR in general.
