This book analyses the responses of middle powers in the
Asia-Pacific toward the contemporary great powers' rivalry of the
United States and China, through specific cases studies of South
Korea, Australia, Japan, India, Taiwan, and Vietnam. Presenting
local perspectives from multiple middle powers as they face the
task of maintaining the international order in light of the recent
competition between China and the United States, it further
develops theories of foreign policy analyses, forming a systematic
framework through initiating crucial concepts, including reluctant
hedging, economic statecraft, and strategic position-taking. The
contributions also provide an in-depth examination of the
contemporary geo-politics of the region, including the impact of
both the Trump and Biden administrations, Beijing's "Wolf Warrior"
diplomacy, cross-strait relations with Taiwan, and the influences
of Japan, Vietnam, Australia and South Korea, revealing that
regional middle powers do indeed exert influence on the direction
of regional cooperation in the Asia-Pacific. Providing
comprehensive studies of many regional powers in the Asia-Pacific,
this will be a valuable resource for scholars and students of
International Politics, Asian Politics, Asian Studies as well as
policy makers on Asia-Pacific relations.
Two major features of international relations at the beginning of
the 21st century are global governance and the rise of China.
Global governance, advocating global norms, requires intervention
into sovereign domains in defiance of those norms. However, an
ascendant China adheres to a classic stance on sovereign integrity
which prohibits such intervention. Whether or not China will
ultimately Sinicize global governance or become assimilated into
global norms remains both a theoretical and a practical challenge.
Both challenges come from China's alternative style of global
governance, which embodies the doctrine of 'balance of
relationship,' in contrast with the familiar international
relations embedded in 'balance of power' or 'balance of interest.'
An understanding of China's intervention policy based upon the
logic of balance of relationship is therefore the key to tackling
the anxiety precipitated by these theoretical as well as practical
challenges.
