Spheres of Influence and Regional Orders: Assessing Approaches for Managing China s Rise
Abstract
The project includes theory development, data collection, and data analysis on the design ofinternational security institutions. The goals of the project are threefold: 1) to develop anoriginal explanation for the effect of different international forms on how states create andmaintain regional or global influence; 2) collect new data on regional institutions - including ontheir memberships, structures, and functions ~ and conduct statistical analysis on the effects ofthese institution type; 3) conduct a focused analysis of the ASEAN Regional Forum (ARF) as asecurity institution, assessing how its structure affects both Chinese and US influence in EastAsia. The research will be carried out by the investigator primarily during the Spring semesterof the 2016/2017 academic year, the Fall semester of the 2017/2018 academic year, and duringthe intervening summer. Specific tasks include deductive theory building, data collection, dataprocessing, statistical analysis, and case study research on AFR including secondary sources andprimary documents. The deliverable products will be 1) a dataset on institutional design thatboth builds on existing data efforts in this field and is made publically available for use by otherresearchers; and 2) an article in a peer-reviewed academic journal.
