| Summary / Abstract (Note) | This research considers that from a regional perspective, multilateralism can be an effective way to understand great power behavior on the international arena. The way emerging great powers interact with neighboring countries, and the way they work with regional powers has always been one of the best indicators of their future intentions as a great power. This concept proves very useful when examining an emerging power's capacity and attempting to predict its future behavior in the international system. There is tremendous speculation around what kind of China we are going to see in the near future, particularly if China surpasses all other states economically. The objective of this research is to contribute to this question by examining China's use of multilateralism in its near neighborhood, more specifically by examining the form of multilateralism China is using to engage with Central Asia. |
