This book investigates whether a power shift has taken place in the
Asia-Pacific region since the end of the Cold War. By
systematically examining the development of power dynamics in
Asia-Pacific, it challenges the notion that a wealthier and
militarily more powerful China is automatically turning the
regional tides in its favour. With a special emphasis on Sino-US
competition, the book explores the alleged linkage between the
regional distribution of relevant material and immaterial
capabilities, national power and the much-cited regional power
shift. The book presents a novel concept for measuring power in
international relations by outlining a composite index on
aggregated power (CIAP) that includes 55 variables for 44 regional
countries and covers a period of twenty years. Moreover, it
develops a middle power theory that outlines the significance of
middle powers in times of major power shifts. By addressing
political, military and economic cooperation via a
structured-focused comparison and by applying a
comparative-historical analysis, the book analyses in depth the
bilateral relations of six regional middle powers to Washington and
Beijing.
The study of power is the nucleus of political science and
international relations. As a shift of power from traditional
industrial countries to emerging powers has been perceived since
the turn of the century, this book aims to present innovative
theoretical and empirical approaches that can increase our
understanding of this transition. Scholars from the fields of
international relations, international political economy, economics
and security studies not only explore current theoretical debates
on 'power' and 'power shifts' among entities, but also provide
fresh insights into relevant aspects of international power in the
21st century. With a particular focus on aspects of international
security, trade and production, new methods of identifying power
and its sources are presented, and their potential implications and
challenges are discussed.
This volume offers a comprehensive and empirically rich analysis of
regional maritime disputes in the South China Sea (SCS). By
discussing important aspects of the rise of China's maritime power,
such as territorial disputes, altered perceptions of geo-politics
and challenges to the US-led regional order, the authors
demonstrate that a regional power shift is taking place in
Asia-Pacific. The volume also provides in-depth discussions of the
responses to Chinese actions by SCS claimants as well as by
important non-claimant actors.
