China's Global Equity Oil Investments
In this article, we construct and analyze an original database of overseas Chinese equity oil investments (EOI) in order to assess the relative importance of economic and geopolitical factors in determining the type of countries that are most likely to receive those investments. We find that China's national oil companies (NOCs) choose to make considerable investments in certain oil rich countries while ignoring others. We develop and examine ‘ec…
System Structure and State Strategy
This paper presents "strategic hedging" as a way to conceptualize much of the strategic behavior currently employed by second-tier states like China, Russia, Brazil, and France. Hedging is an alternative to strategies like balancing, bandwagoning, and buck-passing. Like those other strategies, hedging is driven by structural incentives associated with the current polarity of the international system and power concentration trends within it. Hedgi…
Great Powers and Strategic Hedging: The Case of Chinese Energy Security Strategy
We present the strategic hedging framework as a structural theory of interstate competition. Strategic hedging extends the logic of traditional balance of power theory in order to account for a wider range of foreign policy behavior, while maintaining a strong emphasis on structural incentives that critics found lacking in the soft balancing approach. We provide a four-step identification mechanism that allows the analyst to spot potential cases …
US Military Aid and Recipient State Cooperation
What can states expect to receive in return for the military aid they provide to other states? Can military aid buy recipient state compliance with donor objectives? In this study, we systematically investigate the effects of US military assistance on recipient state behavior toward the United States. We build on existing literature by creating three explicit theoretical models, employing a new measure of cooperation generated from events data, a…
The Evolution of Chinese Foreign Policy
Rising powers such as the People's Republic of China (PRC) experience two distinct stages of relative capability growth. China is currently in the first stage of growth, which is defined by increasingly rapid expansion and incentives for foreign policy accommodation. As the PRC shifts to the second stage, however, relative growth will slow, and leaders in Beijing will be presented with new incentives for foreign policy confrontation. This article…
Critical Periods and Regime Type
The absence of war among leading states compels scholars such as John Mueller (1989) Mueller, John. 1989. Retreat from Doomsday: The Obsolescence of Major War, New York: Basic Books. [Crossref] , [Google Scholar] to speculate on the obsolescence of major power conflict. Robert Jervis (2002) Jervis, Robert. 2002. Theories of War in an Era of Leading Power Peace. American Political Science Review, 96(1): 1–15. [CSA][Crossref], [Web of Science ®] , …
Power Cycles, Risk Propensity, and Great-Power Deterrence
The theory of power cycles contends that the growth and decline of national power holds the key to understanding the occurrence of extensive wars. Certain critical points in a state’s power trajectory are especially dangerous occasions for such armed clashes. The power cycles of nine major states during the period from 1816 to 1995 are examined, and prospect theory is used to derive expectations about the risk propensity of states during differen…
