This chapter investigates China’s ascent in world politics through the analytic lens of partial hegemony. Militarily, China can offer vital partnerships yet simultaneously provoke balancing coalitions. Economically, it underpins global supply chains and finances large-scale infrastructure, but its initiatives are often viewed with skepticism. Ideationally, it affirms sovereignty and pluralism while mainly resonating with some elites. China’s trajectory is therefore distinctive. China is not hegemonic in the conventional sense or reducible to coercion but constitutive of a fragmented order. Its rise is more the consolidation of a novel power configuration, an indispensable yet contested partial hegemon capable of transforming, though not monopolizing, the global system for now.

摘要

This chapter investigates China’s ascent in world politics through the analytic lens of partial hegemony. Militarily, China can offer vital partnerships yet simultaneously provoke balancing coalitions. Economically, it underpins global supply chains and finances large-scale infrastructure, but its initiatives are often viewed with skepticism. Ideationally, it affirms sovereignty and pluralism while mainly resonating with some elites. China’s trajectory is therefore distinctive. China is not hegemonic in the conventional sense or reducible to coercion but constitutive of a fragmented order. Its rise is more the consolidation of a novel power configuration, an indispensable yet contested partial hegemon capable of transforming, though not monopolizing, the global system for now.
