China s Rise and Regional Integration
in East Asia
Featuring far-reaching diversities and disparities among the regional states in
their political, economic and social systems and cultural and religious orien-
tations, East Asia is a microcosm of international society at large. Never the
less, there are unique dynamics unfolding in East Asia at the turn of the
twenty-first century, namely the rise of China as a contender for regional and
global hegemony, and a set of collective initiatives to integrate the regioninto
a harmonious community.
This book provides new arguments on China’s rise and the transformation
of East Asia and analyzes the foreign policy behavior of the regional states
and relations among them. In doing so, the contributors show why and how
China is rising, and how China’s rise shapes the emerging regional structures
and institutions in East Asia. Furthermore, given the East Asian context
where the world’s second and third largest economies coexist with much
smaller states, and with China’s ascendency likely to continue, this book
challenges the pervasivedichotomyof hegemony and community. This allows
for a fuller and more nuanced account of China’s role and the shifting regio-
nalpoliciesinEastAsiainwhichhegemoniccooperationdoesnotnecessarily
lead to a hegemonic form of regional order.
Presenting strategic, political, economic and historical perspectives on
China’s changing role in the region and the development of regionalism,
China’s Rise and Regional Integration in East Asiawill be of great interest to
studentsandscholarsofChinesepolitics,Asianpolitics,internationalrelations
and regionalism.
