Unpacking "De-risking" China in the Indo-Pacific Region: Origin, Evolution and Variations

Lee and editors bring together a group of international scholars to map the overall landscape of “de-risking” China ─ a concept that drew consensus among the Group of Seven (G7) countries. Divided into three themes of conceptual evolution, national responses of individual Indo-Pacific countries and prospects of success with featured case studies, this groundbreaking work explores the origins and developments of “de-risking” China in a region that will define the 21st century. Drawing on rich findings by different scholars, it demonstrates that a wide spectrum of variations exists insofar as the Indo-Pacific countries’ observance to the concept of ‘de-risking’ China. This is a must-read book for academics, scholars and university students of International Relations and Political Science, as well as those interested in understanding the evolving dynamics of “de-risking” China among the Indo-Pacific countries today.
