초록

While China is a great power undergoing a historic rise, its emergence oftenarouses complex and sometimes anxious reactions from its neighbors. A morefundamental concern may come from the still dominant superpower—the UnitedStates, which anticipates a probable power transition with China in the comingdecades. Historical cases, on the other hand, prove that China is culturally andstructurally different from the former emerging great powers, and following thelogic of the power transition theory many still believe that China’s rise will notbe peaceful. However, there are opportunities for China to rise peacefully, if weacknowledge the changes of power or power diffusion and the significance of acomprehensive engagement strategy. China’s active participation in internationalinstitutions also has provided a de facto opportunity for engaging China withinthe incumbent dominant system. Therefore, the issue of China’s possible peaceful risecan be revisited in the power transition theory, particularly through interconnectedtheoretical, historical, and institutional perspectives.

Abstract

While China is a great power undergoing a historic rise, its emergence oftenarouses complex and sometimes anxious reactions from its neighbors. A morefundamental concern may come from the still dominant superpower—the UnitedStates, which anticipates a probable power transition with China in the comingdecades. Historical cases, on the other hand, prove that China is culturally andstructurally different from the former emerging great powers, and following thelogic of the power transition theory many still believe that China’s rise will notbe peaceful. However, there are opportunities for China to rise peacefully, if weacknowledge the changes of power or power diffusion and the significance of acomprehensive engagement strategy. China’s active participation in internationalinstitutions also has provided a de facto opportunity for engaging China withinthe incumbent dominant system. Therefore, the issue of China’s possible peaceful risecan be revisited in the power transition theory, particularly through interconnectedtheoretical, historical, and institutional perspectives.
