| Title | China's Reconciliatory Foreign Policy towards East Asia: An Illiberal Regime Integration into the Liberal World via Global Market System |
| Summary | This research aims to examine China’s foreign policy attitude toward the East Asia that has been altered dramatically since Beijing has successfully implemented the capitalist economic reform. In other words, this study focuses on China’s illiberal regime socialization into the liberal-capitalist world order without requiring liberal political reform. Therefore, this study asks how Beijing’s foreign policy decisions and behaviour are affected by its success in the integration of global market system? Also, how does global market integration influence constructing China’s regional order via Peaceful Rise? Hence, this research emphasizes the relation between successful global market integration and China’s foreign policy decision making/attitude. The research examines China’s reconciliatory foreign policy towards East Asian countries in the scope of illiberal regime socialization into liberal (capitalist) world order and systemic liberal peace theories. In order to conduct the research, this study uses qualitative research based on case study and discourse analysis. This research finds that a regime’s foreign policy attitude is shaped by the extent of its success in the global market integration. Consequently, successful global market integration provided socialization effect for China, however, the socialization effect remains limited in altering Chinese foreign policy behavior without providing any domestic demand for political reform. |
