Description
This comprehensive edited volume addresses one of the most pressing questions in international relations: will China’s rise be peaceful? The book brings together leading scholars and experts to analyze China’s emergence as a great power through multiple lenses—theoretical analysis, historical precedent, contemporary politics, and future projections.
Contributors examine historical patterns of rising powers, comparing China’s trajectory to previous great power transitions. The collection explores both optimistic scenarios of peaceful coexistence and pessimistic forecasts of potential conflict. Topics include China’s strategic ambitions, military capabilities, economic integration with the global system, territorial disputes, and diplomatic relationships with major powers.
Rather than offering a single conclusion, the volume presents diverse perspectives on how China’s rise might unfold, the factors that could promote stability or increase tensions, and what role international institutions and diplomacy can play in shaping outcomes.
