Global structural imbalances and the South China Sea: the likelihood of great power war / Tkacik, Michael

Tkacik, Michael	Journal Article
	0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)

Summary/Abstract

This article examines the roles of nationalism, the historical case of World War One, and the Cult of the Offensive in explaining the growing conflict in the South China Sea. The article pays greatest attention to China and the United States in their respective roles as rising great power and hegemon. The article posits that nationalism may be dangerously out of control in China today. It critically examines those arguments claiming the World War One analogy is inappropriate, and concludes the “Great War” holds both applicable and inapplicable lessons. Finally, the article examines the Cult of the Offensive and argues this lens is particularly helpful in understanding the drive to conflict in the South China Sea.

	0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)

Publication	2009.
