The author examines the concept of great power politics expounded by professor John Mearsheimer, as well as his treatise on offensive realism and its application to China-U.S. relations. According to Mearsheimer, realism holds that the anarchic international system drives great powers to maximize their security by gaining more power at the expense of their rivals. Mearsheimer believes that when states achieve regional hegemony, they seek to prevent powers in other regions from achieving the same dominance out of concern that a istant regional hegemon would be free to cause trouble. He concludes that in Northeast Asia, China plays a role in the distribution of regional power. |
