SUMMARY:How Hedging Made US-China Tensions Worse: Order\, Strategic Competi
 tion\, and Aggregated Security Dilemmas in Asia and the Pacific
DESCRIPTION:\n	Chong Ja Ian (Associate Professor\, National University of S
 ingapore\; HYI Visiting Scholar\, 2019-20)\n	Chair/discussant: M. Taylor 
 Fravel (Arthur and Ruth Sloan Professor of Political Science\, Massachuset
 ts Institute of Technology)\n\n	Co-sponsored with the Asia Center and the 
 Fairbank Center for Chinese Studies\n\n\n	States in eastern Asia and the P
 acific entered the 21st century trying to find a middle way between a domi
 nant United States and a rising China—to hedge. Such behavior sought to 
 moderate major power competition and make the region more stable. Their as
 pirations have apparently not panned out. This presentation argues that a 
 key reason for this outcome was because efforts to hedge\, while individua
 lly rational\, aggregated to exacerbate the security dilemma between Beiji
 ng and Washington\, creating greater uncertainty and incentives for more i
 ntense competition.
