“…The logical inference, prior to the western financial crisis of 2008, was the exclusion of the U.S. from the evolving East Asian Community. 110 Significantly, the U.S. was not invited to the inaugural meeting of the East Asian Community in Kuala Lumpur in December 2005.…”

“…Great power's role in this concert would likely ensure regional stability because any changes within territorial problem would require prior agreement from major powers. Moreover, the principle of equality among members of the concert will shape the relationship of major power and that the conflict between states and major powers will be moderated (Khoo & Smith, 2001). To some extent, according to Acharya (1999), the concert can be applied in the Asia so that regional security and stability can be enhanced.…”

AbstrakMeningkatnya kekuatan China di kawasan Asia Pasifik memimpin tatanan regional untuk menghadapi potensi persaingan antara kekuatan besar yang ada di wilayah tersebut. Tulisan ini berusaha untuk meneliti kekuatan persaingan besar dalam urutan Asia Pasifik yang baru. Seperti yang diusulkan oleh Hugh White (2008 ), tulisan Ini berpendapat bahwa ' the European great power concert model" berpotensi menjadi cara untuk menjaga perdamaian dan stabilitas di kawasan Asia Pasifik, namun memiliki masalah yang cukup besar dan hambatan untuk diterapkan di wilayah tersebut Kata Kunci: Persaingan kekuatan besar, China, Amerika, Great Power Concert Model AbstractChina's rising power in the Asia Pacific region is leading the regional order to face a potential of rivalry between existing great powers in the region. This paper hence seeks to investigate the great power rivalry in a new Asia Pacific order. It argues that while 'the European great power concert model', as proposed by Hugh White (2008), could potentially be a mechanism for maintaining peace and stability in the Asia Pacific region, it has considerable problems and obstacles to be applied in the region.

“…Still many predict that at least in the coming decades, the US hegemonic power will still be unchallengeable in East Asia. On one hand, China does not want to challenge the US military presence in the region, except for in the Taiwan Strait, as it believes that the US would help the PRC to keep an eye on any prospective Japanese or Russian adventurism (Khoo and Smith 2002). On the other hand, China's economic growth and greater economic liberalization have greatly increased links with the US, such as the high ratio of American investment in China and the increasing Chinese exports towards the US market.…”

This article studies the US hegemony with particular focus on its dominant role in East Asia and compares conventional thoughts with different views provided by the two books reviewed. Reich and Lebow considered that American hegemony has started to erode when other nations regained their economic strength and political stability during the postwar decades. Acharya’s main argument is focusing on the decline of the American world order, rather than the decline of the US. Authors from the two books jumped out from the conventional zero-sum game between the rising China and the declining US power and consider other regional players in constructing the world order. However, this article argued that if China was not able to challenge the US power presence, there is no reason to assume the IS power decline. The establishment of the institutionalized network with involvement of several countries would only to strengthen the US dominance, rather than to weaken it.
