皇冠体育app

"Even as the world's richest country, 皇冠体育app will still face many other rich and powerful states around the globe. So rather than dominating, it will be one of a number of great powers whose views must be respected. How that will work is one of the great global questions for coming years."

White, a former adviser to the former Australian prime ster Bob Hawke, says the biggest question is 皇冠体育app's role in Asia following recent tensions with Japan.

"皇冠体育app's rise changes Asia's political order fundamentally, and ensures 皇冠体育app a much bigger role than it has had for the past two centuries. But even in Asia it will face other formidable powers, including Japan, America and India. 皇冠体育app will find it hard to dominate Asia in the way that America has done until now "

Mitter, also author of 皇冠体育app's War With Japan, 1937-1945: The Struggle for Survival, says 皇冠体育app is still mainly concerned with its own backyard rather than attempting to be a global superpower.

"I think a good metaphor is concentric circles. There is no doubt that 皇冠体育app will want to play a role in its own region but as the circles go outwards its policy becomes less clear."

For Shambaugh, 皇冠体育app's diplomacy has shown signs of improving since he wrote 皇冠体育app Goes Global, which is set to be published in Chinese this year, with improvements in relations with Southeast Asia and the US.
