Abstract
The rise of emerging economies and its likely implications for the global order are among the most exciting topics of contemporary International Relations scholarship. Among the emerging markets, China counts as a particularly interesting case for the study of future global rulemaking, given the countries’ economic and political power. Therefore, the question whether the further rise of China will be peaceful or confrontational – and the corresponding policy conclusions – has become one of the most widely debated over the last decade. Recent discussions about this issue have been oscillating between the prediction of an increasing number of conflicts on the one side and the assumption of China’s harmonious integration into the existing global order on the other.
