This book examines the strategic interactions among China, the
United States, Japan, and Southeast Asian States in the context of
China's rise and globalization after the cold war. Engaging the
mainstream theoretical debates in international relations, the
author introduces a new theoretical framework-institutional
realism-to explain the institutionalization of world politics in
the Asia-Pacific after the cold war. Institutional realism suggests
that deepening economic interdependence creates a condition under
which states are more likely to conduct a new balancing
strategy-institutional balancing, i.e., countering pressures or
threats through initiating, utilizing, and dominating multilateral
institutions-to pursue security under anarchy. To test the validity
of institutional realism, Kai He examines the foreign policies of
the U.S., Japan, the ASEAN states, and China toward four major
multilateral institutions, Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation
(APEC), the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) Regional
Forum (ARF), ASEAN Plus Three (APT), and East Asian Summit (EAS).
Challenging the popular pessimistic view regarding China's rise,
the book concludes that economic interdependence and structural
constraints may well soften the "dragon's teeth." China's rise does
not mean a dark future for the region. Institutional Balancing in
the Asia Pacific will be of great interest to policy makers and
scholars of Asian security, international relations, Chinese
foreign policy, and U.S. foreign policy.
