By systematically examining the development of power dynamics in Asia-Pacific, it challenges the notion that a wealthier and militarily more powerful China is automatically turning the regional tides in its favour. With a special emphasis on Sino-US competition, the book explores the alleged linkage between the regional distribution of relevant material and immaterial capabilities, national power and the much-cited regional power shift.\u003c\/p\u003eThe book presents a novel concept for measuring power in international relations by outlining a composite index on aggregated power (CIAP) that includes 55 variables for 44 regional countries and covers a period of twenty years. Moreover, it develops a middle power theory that outlines the significance of middle powers in times of major power shifts. By addressing political, military and economic cooperation via a structured-focused comparison and by applying a comparative-historical analysis, the book analyses in depth the bilateral relations of six regional middle powers to Washington and Beijing.","brand":"Springer","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":45276055928983,"sku":"9783319456881","price":20347.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9783319456881.webp?v=1769284600","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/shifting-power-in-asia-pacific-the-rise-of-china-sino-us-competition-and-regional-middle-power-allegiance-9783319456881","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
