Abstract
David Arase explains how China’s rise to great power status amid deepening and widening regional interdependence profoundly changes both the question of Asian regional order and the requirements for stability at both the macro-regional and subregional levels. With the era of unipolar hegemonic order now ending, strategic interaction will determine whether the larger region achieves order based on bipolar competition, great power condominium, or multilateral regional governance.
