Security Studies Vol 15 No 3, July-September 2006, pp.355-393 (118)Summary: Sets out the various disagreements among proponents of realist theory about secondary state responses to rising powers. Examines the complex mix of China's military and economic reach in East Asia, and concludes that secondary state behaviour is sensitive to local variation in the great power capabilities and that secondary states tend to accomodate rather than balance rising powers. Economic capabilities alone are not enough to generate accommodation. In terms of military power, with the exceptions of Taiwan and Korea China has yet to challenge American military supremacy - this is particularly the case in maritime southeast Asia.
