Conceptualizing the United States--China Security Dilemma

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingChapter

Abstract

This chapter contextualizes the security dilemma concept to view contemporary United States–China relations. It begins with a brief theoretical overview of the security dilemma theory that includes the concepts’ shortcomings, misuses, and contemporary revisions. Next, it contextualizes the application of the security dilemma by scholars and policy-makers to elucidate United States–China security relations and, in particular, the emergences of a ‘China rise’ discourse. Finally, it proffers a conceptual framework of analysis for applying the dilemma concept to view United States–China military and defense relations during the Obama era, and addresses several gaps in the existing literature.
