Synopsis<\/u>:<\/h4>\n

The spectacular rise of China has kindled fears about an epic power\u00a0struggle in Asia whereby a Chinese move towards regional hegemony is\u00a0challenged by the US and its allies, causing a breakdown of Asia\u2019s security order in a manner similar to Europe\u2019s two \u201cWorld Wars\u201d. But\u00a0challenging traditional geopolitical thinking \u2013 especially neorealism,\u00a0Amitav Acharya argues that rising powers do not shape regions, but regions shape rising powers. His argument rests on the fact that Asia\u00a0has seen several other fundamental changes, other than and predating\u00a0China\u2019s recent rise, including expanding economic interdependence, regional multilateral norms and institutions, and domestic political consolidation and openness in key Asian nations. There is also an emerging military equilibrium in Asia brought about not only by the US\u00a0\u2018rebalancing\u2019 strategy, but also by the defense policies and interactions of others like India, Japan, Australia and ASEAN nations.<\/h4>\n
