China's Power and Asian Security

This book maps the growth of China's political, economic, and military capabilities and its impact on the security order in Asia over the coming decades. While updating the emerging power dimensions and prevailing discourse, it provides a nuanced analysis of whether the growth of Chinese power is resulting in Beijing becoming more assertive, or even aggressive, in its behavior and pursuit of national interests, of how the key Asian countries are perceiving and reacting to the growth of China's power and how US rebalancing would play out in the context of Beijing's political, economic, and military power.
