If one interprets China's sizable rise in Latin America as an unprecedented phenomenon, it follows that the concurrent story of declining U.S. influence in the region is an event hastily acknowledged at best and ignored at worst. In this article, we ask whether Chinese economic statecraft in Latin America is related to the declining U.S. hegemonic influence in the region and explore how. To do so we analyze foreign direct investments, bank loans, and international trade from 2003 to 2014, when China became a major player in the region. We use data from 21 Latin American countries, and find that an inversely proportional relationship exists between the investments made by Chinese state‐owned enterprises (SOEs), bank loans, manufacturing exports, and the U.S. hegemonic influence exerted in the region. In other words, Beijing has filled the void left by a diminished U.S. presence in the latter's own backyard.

“…Bu noktada güç geçiĢ teorisi temelinde çatıĢma olasılığı, güç denkliği önkoĢuluyla sistemde her zaman var olmaktadır. Dolayısıyla Heng-Lim"in ifadesiyle, Çin, sistemin tatmin olmamıĢ baĢat devletidir (Lim, 2015).…”

Bu çalıĢma, güç geçiĢ teorisi"nin temel varsayımlarını açıklayarak Türkçe literatüre katkıda bulunmak amacıyla hazırlanmıĢtır. Ülkelerin gücünü oluĢturan iç kapasiteleri, ekonomik, askeri, demografik, topraksal ve teknolojik birçok değiĢkeni kapsar. Bu içsel kapasiteler durağan değildir. Devletlerin askeri ve ekonomik büyümelerinin getirdiği yükseliĢ trendi, bu devletlerin güçlerinin birbirlerine yaklaĢarak uluslararası sistemin istikrarsızlaĢmasına neden olur. Uluslararası sistemde tatmin olmayan devletlerin, uluslararası sistem hiyerarĢisinde bir revizyon yaratma giriĢimi, küresel sistemi savaĢa sürükleyebilir. Bu çalıĢma uluslararası sistemdeki kırılmaları ampirik yöntemlerle ortaya koyan Organski"nin güç geçiĢ teorisi aracılığı ile günümüz uluslararası sistemini analiz etmek amacıyla hazırlanmıĢtır. Bu bağlamda güç geçiĢ teorisinin temel varsayımları ortaya konularak günümüzde yaĢanan sistemik kırılmaların dünya siyasetini nasıl etkilediği incelenmektedir. Literatürde önemli ölçüde güç geçiĢ teorisi uygulaması bulunmakla birlikte gerek yerel hiyerarĢide gerekse uluslararası hiyerarĢide Çin"in yükseliĢi ampirik olarak gözlemlenebilir niteliktedir. Nitekim yeni hegemonun Çin olacağı birçok yazarın ortak görüĢü olup verilerle de desteklenmektedir. This study was prepared to explain the basic assumptions of Power Transition Theory in order to contribute Turkish international relations literature. The analysis of material capacities of countries comprises various variables such as economic, military, demographic, territorial and technological. These material capacities are not constant. Rising military and economic trends of national material capabilities may result in instability of the international system, due to power parity among the states. At the end of this process, the World may be dragged into a global war due to the dissatisfaction of the states. This study is prepared to explain power shifts within the international system on the basis of Organski"s Power Transition Theory. It is reviewed in the context of this study that how World politics is affected by the systemic disequilibrium. Power Transition Theory and the rise of China is empirically one of the most studied cases in the context of local and international hierarchy. Indeed, most scholars accept that the new preponderant would possibly be China after the US hegemony on the basis of empirical analyses.

“…The rapid rise of China now seems to signal potential attempts to restructure the regional as well as the international order. Although the Chinese authorities take care to use terms such as ‘the peaceful rise of China’ or ‘the peaceful development of China’, many scholars have raised the problem of the ‘China threat’ and considered China as a rising dissatisfied revisionist state (see, for example, Mearsheimer, 2006; Lim, 2015). In June 2013, when Chinese President Xi Jinping had assured US President Barack Obama that the PRC had no intention of challenging the global dominance of the United States, by suggesting the ‘New type of major power relations’ (NTMPR) between the United States and the PRC, many have questioned the true meaning of the NTMPR for the United States.…”

Rising China, pivotal middle power South Korea, and alliance transition theory

The alliance transition theory is developed by incorporating the pivotal middle power’s role into Organski’s power transition theoretical framework. The theory posits that the situation of parity of alliance power between the dominant power’s alliance camp and the rising dissatisfied challenger’s camp is likely to lead to major war; and, further, that the pivotal middle power is able not only to help reinforce the dominant state’s power preponderance over its potential challenger but also to play a mediating role of persuading the rising potential challenger to be more satisfied with the status quo. Applying the alliance transition arguments to the East Asian region, the theory suggests that a pivotal middle power such as South Korea can be a crucial addition to the United States’ capabilities to maintain its preponderance of power over the potential challenger, the People’s Republic of China. Together with other like-minded middle powers, the Republic of Korea, as a key regional ally of the United States, can also play the constructive role of persuading China to be a responsible member of the status quo system, by engaging substantially with China.
