This volume provides a coherent and comprehensive understanding
of Chinese security policy, comprising essays written by one of
America's leading scholars.
Chinese Security Policy covers such fundamental areas as the
role of international structure in state behavior, the use of force
in international politics (including deterrence, coercive
diplomacy, and war), and the sources of great-power conflict and
cooperation and balance of power politics, with a recent focus on
international power transitions. The research integrates the
realist literature with key issues in Chinese foreign policy,
thereby placing China s behaviour in the larger context of the
international political system. Within this framework, Chinese
Security Policy considers the importance of domestic politics and
leadership in Chinese policy making.
This book examines how Chinese strategic vulnerability since
U.S.-China rapprochement in the early 1970s has compelled Beijing
to seek cooperation with the United States and to avoid U.S.-China
conflict over Taiwan. It also addresses the implications of the
rise of China for the security of both United States and of Chinese
neighbors in East Asia, and considers the implications of China s
rise for the regional balance of power and the emerging
twenty-first century East Asian security order.
This book will be of great interest to all students of Chinese
Security and Foreign Policy, Chinese and Asian Politics, US foreign
policy and International Security in general.
