China's rise and its implications for International Relations and Northeast Asia

Abstract

The paper analyzes China's rise, its causes and consequences as well as China's geopolitical strategy. We discuss in particular its meaning in the context of the evolution of the International (dis)order, threatened by nationalist populism. A particularly important question is the effect of North Korea's successful nuclear program on the situation in Northeast Asia, in the context of China's rise.
