The Persian Gulf's Transition From American Unipolarity
Although East Asia remains the center of the US‐China rivalry, other regions are emerging to play key roles. After years of somewhat peaceful coexistence and even a degree of cooperation between Washington and Beijing, the Gulf, with its deep ties to both sides, undoubtedly has become one of them. This new situation creates challenges for all the parties involved, from the two great powers to the regional actors looking for new ways to reposition…
Blowback
China’s Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) has two interconnected goals: increasing China’s diplomatic clout and expanding the presence of Chinese companies overseas. However, contrary to the intuitive notion that good diplomacy creates economic opportunities, we argue that when the partner country is a democracy, these goals conflict. First, we hypothesize and quantitatively uncover a negative relationship between host state democratic institutions …
Exploiting China's Rise
China's rise has fuelled much speculation about its potential involvement in regional crises across the world, and especially in the Middle East. In this debate, the agency of local actors is often ignored, and China is described as actively pursuing a long‐term strategy to expand its influence at the expense of the United States. Taking the Syrian civil war as a case study, this study challenges, if not wholly overturns, this mainstream analysis…
An opportunistic Russia in the Middle East, a view from China
As Sino-American competition and Russo-American tensions continue to rise, many believe that China and Russia have established an increasingly well-coordinated division of labour to undermine the United States. Yet, this discussion has long neglected the analysis of Sino-Russian relations in the Middle East despite the importance of that region. Hence, this article investigates how Russian actions there are perceived in China through the analysis…

Building legitimacy? The role of Chinese contract workers in foreign regimes’ political strategies
Over the past two decades, the number of Chinese workers sent overseas to complete engineering and construction projects has increased significantly along with the expanding role of Chinese companies in foreign countries, including low- and middle-income states with large populations. Yet, there has been little systematic analysis of this phenomenon. This article hypothesizes that differences in the strategies adopted by governments in democratic…
Civil–military relations and organisational preferences regarding the use of the military in Chinese foreign policy
This article analyses the positions of the Chinese civilian leaders and military elites on Military Operations Other Than War in order to shed light on their preferences about the use of the armed forces in foreign policy between the late 1990s and the early 2010s. Over time, a significant divergence developed between civilians and soldiers until 2011, when the Libyan crisis happened. The study also prompts important considerations about our unde…
Market Opportunities and Political Responsibilities
Building upon the conceptual work of Krahmann and Habermas, this study explains how political power and market forces in China combined to create an enormous domestic market for overseas security services and, at the same time, undermined the full development of domestic private security companies (PSCs). The growing responsiveness of the state to the request for protection of Chinese citizens and assets abroad made room for the initial developme…
Interpreting China’s Rise in a Decentered World Through the Lens of Peacekeeping and Antipiracy Missions
Diplomatic Opportunities and Rising Threats
Through the lens of securitization theory, this article looks at the significant impact that non-traditional security has had over Chinese foreign policy. Over time, non-traditional security has changed from being understood as an opportunity to boost China’s international standing, to being seen as an important category within security threats. China’s security and diplomatic behavior has changed accordingly. In particular, China has become more…
