China's rise and changing order in East Asia

This title discusses the impact of China's rise on regional order at three levels: Sino-US relations, East Asia's contested sub regions and regional institutions.

Sino-US relations provide a framework to examine macro-regional relations.

In East Asia's contested sub regions - Northeast Asia, Southeast Asia, and the eastern Indian Ocean region - the author explores the crucial role regional powers and local states play in maintaining effective governance and stability.
