Imminent US strategic adjustment to China / Harris, Peter   Article
Harris, Peter Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Summary/Abstract How can leaders in the United States and China ensure that future relations between their two countries are marked by peaceful cooperation and not conflict over the organization of world politics? Whereas most scholarly writing on the topic of China’s ‘peaceful rise’ has dwelt upon the ways and means by which Chinese leaders can steer their ship of state towards harmonious relations with the outside world, this article attempts to shift the focus onto foreign policy-making by the United States. The argument is that established states preside over a range of options when it comes to deciding how to respond to rising states during periods of shifting power and how they choose to adjust to an adverse alteration in relative power has dramatic consequences for the subsequent evolution of any given power-transitional dyad and, by extension, for the course of world politics more broadly. The author provides a conceptual framing of this function for established great powers during episodes of shifting power and seeks to elucidate in particular the domestic–political components of the role. The primary policy implication is to suggest that decision makers in the United States ought to be ready—much more ready than they currently are—to assume a hefty slice of responsibility for the ensuing power transition with China that most observers anticipate to be in the offing.

Toward "land" or toward "sea": the high-speed railway and China's grand strategy / Zhengwu, Wu   Journal Article
Zhengwu, Wu Journal Article

Publication 2013.
Summary/Abstract China's maritime development having come up against pressures and challenges in recent years, the concept of "strategic hedging"-that is, pursuit of and investment in policies meant to protect the nation against the effects of geopolitical and economic uncertainty-has emerged. One of its most important proponents is Gao Bai, an ethnic Chinese professor of sociology at Duke University (in Durham, North Carolina) and the author of the article "The High-Speed Railway and China's Grand Strategy in the 21st Century" ....1 Professor Gao believes that the 2008 global financial crisis and the return, through its own strategic adjustment, of the United States to the Asia-Pacific region mean that China's "blue-water strategy" has come to an end.
