"The Choices of Weaker States amidst Great Power Competition" |
With the United States and China competing for influence in Southeast Asia, how weaker states in the region make their foreign policy choices has come under more scrutiny in recent years. Why are some weaker states more capable of resisting demands made by the great powers? Why can some weaker states get more aid than others even though they are located within the same geographic region? This paper offers a theoretical framework to analyze how the interplay between the level of international competition and the foreign policy choices of weaker states explains their ability to realize their national interests. Dr. Enze Han submitted this working paper as part of his research activities for the EAI Fellows Program.
