- Inhalt
- China´s gradual rise to regional and global power status clearly shows the causal link between economic development and political power. Yet, this process shows contradicting trajectories. On the one hand, China is obviously eager to contribute to the solution of cooperation problems in the issue-area of international economic relations. Cases in point are China`s World Trade Organisation (WTO) membership and its contribution to G20 and International Monetary Fund (IMF) dialogues. On the other, many countries, especially China´s neighboring states in East Asia, worry that its rise will be marred by conflicts that emanate from a foreign policy that is more and more assertive. The number of violent or security relevant incidents between riparian states of the South China Sea and between Japan and China have risen significantly throughout the last years. The application of international norms and legal mechanisms provided by the United Nations Law of Sea Convention (UNCLOS) and the possibility of taking the issue of overlapping and unclear sea boundaries to the International Maritime Court and the International Court of Justice does not appeal to China.
This being said, the following questions will have to be answered in the course of the seminar: What are the main institutional and political pillars of Chinese Foreign Policy Making? Which concepts and theories can be applied to this case? How can we then explain the above mentioned variance in China´s foreign policy? What are the main internal and external factors that can help us explain patterns of change and continuity in China´s foreign policy?
