Looking for Balance: China, the United States, and Power Balancing in East Asia

by Steve Chan

Book Overview

By drawing on alternative theoretic approaches-most especially "balance-of-threat" theory, political economic theory, and theories surrounding regime survival in multilateral rather than bilateral contexts Steve Chan is able to create an explanation of what is in motion in the region that differs widely from the traditional "strategic vision" of national interest.
