Synopsis

Advances a new theory for mapping the dynamics of great power politics today

• Offers a holistic analysis of why, where, how, and whither the US-China rivalry is unfolding in the Indo-Pacific region from 1992 to contemporary years, using an innovative neo-offensive realist framework
• Depicts the dynamics of multi-player great power competition in the contemporary Indo-Pacific region
• Presents the long-running patterns of the US-China great power competition through original empirical analysis of data on GDP, wealth, trade, investment, development aid, military budgets, arms sales, nuclear warhead inventories, overseas basing, etc.

US-China Rivalry offers a holistic analysis of the unfolding of US-China competition in the Indo-Pacific, using a novel theory called neo-offensive realism. It synthesises quantitative and qualitative data to examine the intensification of US-China competition across the Indo-Pacific in recent years, with a focus on why the competition is intensifying under the interplay of system-level and unit-level forces; where the competition is unfolding across states and quasi-states in the region; how the competition is conducted through economic and military influence mechanisms; and whither the competition is developing in the future.
