This book explores China’s use of faits accomplis in its
periphery, and offers the first formal model for the use of faits
accomplis by rising powers. With growing attention to great power
competition and conflict in the gray zone between war and peace,
this book explains China’s use of faits accomplis to revise the
maritime status quo in the South and East China Seas. Using formal
modelling and case study analysis, the book argues that while power
shifts provide rising states with opportunities to impose faits
accomplis to revise the status quo, the use of faits accomplis also
increase the likelihood of war with the dominant state(s). The book
surveys existing understandings of how power shifts incentivize
interstate competition in general and in the case of Sino-American
competition in particular, and brings existing theory and novel
modelling to explain China’s differing strategies in the South
and East China Seas in the first two decades of the 21st century.
The book concludes by using the lessons from these cases to assess
the strategic options available to both states and conditions that
make a peaceful resolution more likely. This book will be of much
interest to students of Chinese politics, Asian security studies
and International Relations.
