“…Third, the choice to the threatened states may not be reduced to only balancing or bandwagoning; for example, adds that buckpassing is often much more effective than those two options. 11 The same result was shown by Amorim & Lucena Silva (2014), while applying BOT for explaining Japan and India's joint reaction to China's rise. Fourth, Bock and Henneberg (2013, p. 20) assume "that neither aggregate power, nor geographic 8 As an example, the fact of China having 14 neighboring states adds complexity layers to its foreign policy.…”

“…Consequently, Tokyo has stressed the need of countries to abide to international rules and respect established maritime rights. The same can be said for India (Kapila 2014;Amorim and Lucena Silva 2014) and Vietnam . For example, Japan has stimulated a maritime defense buildup in Vietnam and Philippines, even donating coast guard ships (French 2014;.…”

Global Power Shift

More information about this series at http://www.springer.com/series/10201Ample empirical evidence points to recent power shifts in multiple areas of international relations taking place between industrialized countries and emerging powers, as well as between states and non-state actors. However, there is a dearth of theoretical interpretation and synthesis of these findings, and a growing need for coherent approaches to understand and measure the transformation. The central issues to be addressed include theoretical questions and empirical puzzles: How can studies of global power shift and the rise of 'emerging powers' benefit from existing theories, and which alternative aspects and theoretical approaches might be suitable? How can the meanings, perceptions, dynamics, and consequences of global power shift be determined and assessed? This edited series will include highly innovative research on these topics. It aims to bring together scholars from all major world regions as well as different disciplines, including political science, economics and human geography. The overall aim is to discuss and possibly blend their different approaches and provide new frameworks for understanding global affairs and the governance of global power shifts.

“…The stable, pacific relationship with South Asia is crucial because India aspires to be a significant regional player (Amorim and Silva 2014). The PM first resorted to the SAARC, trying to gain leverage as the biggest economy and main driver for regional integration.…”

“…Three out of five in the top tier also belong to the BBIN Working Group: Bangladesh, Bhutan, and Nepal. As stated above, to meet the geopolitical and economic imperatives presented by the rise of China and its willingness to lead the region, India has taken the opportunity that the pandemic has created to support its significant partners and boost its regional leadership and soft power to even the scales against China (Amorim and Silva 2014;Manzi and Lima 2021). Acting as the "first responder to a health crisis", New Delhi adopted two primary responses: first, it revived the SAARC as the leading forum to formulate a regional action plan to fight the pandemic, and second it relied on bilateral pacts such as the BBIN, to help its neighbors by providing testing kits, medical equipment, and vaccines.…”

“…In many ways, China has demonstrated a growing impact. Ideological inequalities and China's economic success make Western countries like the EU and the US full of concerns about China's development to varying degrees and at different levels [1]. The Obama administration introduced the 'Asia-Pacific Rebalance' or 'Return to Asia-Pacific' strategy at the 19th APEC summit in 2011, suggesting a subtle US trend.…”

The study of international relations evolve around the study of the power relation between significant states.Powerful nations have funded divergent views to develop political values and ideologies. The global system has been dominated since the Cold War by the United States (US), which has been shaken by the relative decline of the US economy and China's simultaneous rise. China is rapidly emerging, assuming that the Indo-Pacific region is a serious challenger to Indo-US interests. Because their strategic responses are growing against each other, the states are adopting hedging policies. Simultaneously, the outbreak of coronavirus disease (COVID-19) affects the balance and order of power. In the throes of stiff US-China competition, a crumbling European project, de-globalization and a contested economic development landscape, the pandemic came. Although the American leadership role was aggravated by this pandemic, Beijing, on the other hand, has also distanced itself from the existing global order. The clash of rhetoric, narratives, and perceptions has been sharpened. As a serious challenger to the interests of Washington in the globalised world, China is rapidly rising specifically in Indo-Pacific region. Unlike the Cold War era, among the states of the world, the intense balance of power politics in the form of alliances is present. The hedging strategies are still being adopted by the states to counter the existential threats of hard balancing and soft balancing.
