Overview:

Professor Nankivell will discuss the findings of her recently released edited volume, Chinese-Japanese Competition in the East Asian Security Complex. She will outline the role that Sino-Japanese competition plays in East Asian security, an area of study largely overlooked in contemporary writing, which tends to focus on either US–China relations or U.S. hegemony.  Drawing on her analysis of collapsing dynamics in the East and South China Seas, as well as chapters contributed by leading scholars, the talk aims to offer a multi-dimensional portrait of Chinese-Japanese competition in contemporary Asia.  Considering energy competition and rivalry for trade and investment in the 1990s through to more overt military tensions from 2010 onward, this discussion will lend much-needed specificity to our current understanding of the evolving relationship between Asia’s largest players.  Ms. Nankivell will explore the nature, agency, timing and location of their rivalry over two decades, as well as its intersection with U.S. regional hegemony.
