Increasing importance of people`s Republic of China in world politics and its relations with the European Union and the USA

By admin

This thesis analyzes the security implications of China’s rapid
economic growth which is possibly the most compelling issue in the
current international relations, by using the offensive realist
perspective. It is obvious that China’s economic growth is amazingly
rapid. With its expanding economy and growing military
capabilities, China will be inclined to be a real hegemon and thus,
will have a security competition with the only superpower of the
world, the USA. Therefore, Chinese rise represents a major
challenge to US hegemony. The EU, on the other hand, is not in a
position that could deal with a new rising one even if it shares many
common objectives in coping with China’s growing power with
USA. The strategic view and policies of the EU and the USA
towards China are discussed in the light of China’s increasing
importance in the world politics. The thesis concludes by claiming
that as China’s power increases, it will have an incentive to dominate
its region and will have a security competition with the only
superpower of the world.
