Contesting Revisionism

China, the United States, and the Transformation of International Order

By: Steve Chan,Huiyun Feng,Kai He,Weixing Hu

How can we know a country, such as the United States or China, is revisionist, that is, whether it intends to upset the international order? What motivates states to act the way they do? Contesting Revisionism focuses on a particular kind of motivation inclining a state to challenge the existing norms, rules, and institutions of international order: revisionism. The authors offer a critique of the existing discourse on revisionism and investigate the origin and evolution of the foreign policy orientations of revisionist states in the past. Furthermore, they introduce an ensemble of indicators to discern and compare the extent of revisionist tendencies on the part of contemporary China and the United States. Questioning the facile assumption that past episodes will repeat in the future, they argue that "hard" revisionism relying on war and conquest is less viable and likely in today's world. Instead, "soft" revisionism seeking to promote institutional change is more relevant and likely. Focusing on contemporary Sino-American relations, they conclude that much of the current discourse based on power transition theory is problematic. A dominant power is not inevitably committed to the defense of international order, nor does a rising power always have a revisionist agenda to challenge this order. The transformation of international order does not necessarily require a power transition between China and the US., nor does a possible power transition necessarily augur war. After developing the concept of revisionism both theoretically and empirically, they conclude with a series of policy recommendations for enhancing international stability and diminishing tension in Sino-American relations.

China's International Relations in the 21st Century

Dynamics of Paradigm Shifts

By: Weixing R. Hu,Gerald Chan,Daojiong Zha

Most people believe China's foreign behavior is driven by its growing power status in world politics. Chinese leaders still firmly uphold some traditional values in foreign policy such as sovereignty, territorial integrity, and national unification. However, it is often neglected that China's behavior is also shaped by its changing perception of the globalizing world and, to a large extent, is a result of external pressure on China. By examining the dynamics of paradigm shifts in China's foreign policy thinking, this book explores the ideological sources of China's international relations in the new century. With growing economic interdependence with the outside world, which creates both constraints as well as incentives to adapt to the prevailing norms in contemporary international relations, authors of this volume analyze indigenous Chinese sources of intellect on the paradigm shifts. The concepts studied in this volume include national identity, nationalism, globalism, multilateralism, sovereignty, and the role of international law in Chinese foreign policy. This volume helps to shed new light on how the dynamics of paradigm shifts affect China's behavior in international affairs.

Modeling and Simulation of Intelligent Transportation Systems

By: Wael A. Altabey,Mohammad Noori,Ahmed Silik,Marco Domaneschi,Weixing Hong

As transport networks become more congested, there is a growing need to adopt policies that manage demand and make full use of existing assets. Advances in information technology are now such that intelligent transportation systems (ITS) offer real potential to meet this challenge by monitoring current conditions, predicting what might happen in the future, and providing the means to manage transport proactively and on an area-wide basis. Modeling and Simulation of Intelligent Transportation Systems provides engineers, professionals, and researchers an intuitive appreciation for ITS theory, related sensor technologies, and other practical applications, including traffic management, safety, design optimization, and sustainability. Provides the theory and practical applications of Intelligent Transport Theory which will be helpful as highway construction recedes as a sustainable long-term solution. Includes several case studies that illustrate the concepts presented throughout.
