    Seminar Abstract

    The existing liberal hegemonic order is essentially an American-led and Western-centered one. Its desirability and sustainability have been called into question due to a wide array of challenges and developments. The rise of China is both one of the driving forces behind the order transition, as well as a key determinant shaping the emerging order. This paper aims at discussing what kind of impact China may produce and how this will happen. Through examining China’s related ideas, concepts, and practices, it argues that China will search for a liberal partnership order, namely, that it will preserve and may even expand the liberal features of the order while curtailing its hegemonic nature. Instead of attempting to overturn the current order, China would pursue selective and incremental adjustments that overtime will lead to an order transition. Given the material, institutional and ideational constraints, China cannot shape the emerging order in the way that the U.S. did in the post-World War II period. Instead, order will change as a result of power-sharing rather than power transition, while the form and tempo of order transition will largely hinge on the outcome of Sino-US bargaining.
