The Rise of China’s Structural Power in Southeast Asia: A Philippine Perspective
This research paper was the final major assignment for my POLI 366 International Political Economy class. In this research paper, I utilized Susan Strange's Four Structures of Power as a theoretical framework to analyze the rise of Chinese influence and power in Southeast Asia. Using my home country (the Philippines) as a case study, I examined how contemporary Chinese foreign policy has led to geopolitical tensions in four structures of power: security, production, finance, and knowledge.
