Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Review Method: Peer Reviewed Abstract: I examine the extent to which three strands of realist thought illuminate the character of Sino-American relations in the contemporary unipolar order and the prospects for the future as China’s capabilities grow. In looking at the arguments about power transitions, power balancing, and the security dilemma, I suggest that all three help explain the Sino-American dynamic in the current unipolar era and the risks that may lie ahead. I first consider the meaning and usefulness of these three realist arguments for interpreting contemporary Sino-American relations. I then look more closely at what is generally regarded as the most plausible locus for serious conflict between China and the US—the Taiwan Straits. Each of the general arguments sheds some light on the way China’s rise, its interest in balancing against a dominant US, and the insecurity military preparations generate are shaping the management of the delicate Taiwan dispute. But to better illuminate the likelihood that tensions will result in actual conflict, that is to say whether the potential dangers will be realized, I suggest it is necessary to incorporate considerations that fall outside the purview of such broad-gauged theories. In particular, I demonstrate the way adding insights from strategic theory provides a more complete understanding of the prospects for conflict.
