Us-China Policy and China's Growing Military

INTRODUCTION

The debate on the effectiveness of the hegemon’s foreign policy in encouraging a world’s rising power’s growing military to enhance security relations with the hegemon is a matter of concern. The research study addresses the following question: How effective was U.S. foreign policy in encouraging China and it’s growing military to enhance its security relations with U.S. by military dialogue, transparency and coordination with China 2008-2012. This research question is important to address because understanding how effective U.S. foreign policy was in encouraging China and its growing military to enhance security relations by military dialogue, increased transparency and coordination with U.S. is critical outlining bilateral security relations. In addition, the questions importance is strategically based because of the growing concern the United States has of the rise of China and its rising military power pushing American influence out of East and South-East Asia. The research study argues that the U.S. foreign policy was not effective in enhancing security relations by military dialogue, increased transparency and coordination with the China between 2008-2012. Moreover the preliminary evidence appears to indicate that the central reason why the security relations are not enhanced through military dialogue, transparency and coordination with China is that the major steps taken by the two powers to gain a better position with regard to each other contribute to regional tension between 2008-2012. By way of organization, Section 1 is the literature review, which examines the realist and idealist models. Section 2 is the case study. Section 3 summarizes the central findings of the study.
