“…This rejuvenation focuses on adopting a win-win and mutual approach, maintaining peace with neighboring countries, and pursuing regional stability (Heath, 2013; Liu, 2016; Xiao, 2016; Zhao, 2019). This has been further materialized by engaging in deeper cooperation with neighboring countries in the region.…”

“…However, having its ally become one of the nuclear-weapon states redefines the China–North Korea relations (and the China–US rivalry) in favor of China. As a result, China would have its ally become more dependable (have more bargaining power); simultaneously, it elevates the relative importance of the Chinese role in negotiating peace and stability in the region (Kim and Cha, 2016; Xiao, 2016; Yang, 2019).…”

Recent developments in regional studies argue that geopolitical influence is one factor affecting the regional order. However, studies on geopolitical influence have yet to cover East Asia to explain East Asia's regional order. The quantitative approach to geopolitical influence studies still faces a methodological challenge because it uses an arbitrary weighting of geopolitical influence in developing an index. In order to address those challenges, this research deploys factor analysis as a non-arbitrary weighting system to measure the geopolitical influence of China, Japan, Russia, and the US in East Asia during the period from 2005 to 2018. Additionally, this research explores how the geopolitical influence of those countries affects East Asia's regional cooperation and integration. The research shows that: (1) China has been able to compete with the US for geopolitical influence in East Asia since 2014, and (2) Chinese, Japanese, Russian, and US geopolitical influence positively contributes to regional cooperation and integration in East Asia, with the US and China as the main contributors. The research highlights three possible causes to explain the results: China's regional infrastructure initiatives, rejuvenation of China's view on globalization, and the relative decline of US relations with the allies in the region.

“…Moreover, transition points in the 1980s and 1990s have been pointed to as further entrenching peace within these regions (Xiao 2016;Weissmann 2010). That is, these transition points are defined by events that lead East Asian states into even more peaceful and friendlier relationships, once again paying as much attention to purported cause as the effect in defining any Asian peace.…”

“…That is, these transition points are defined by events that lead East Asian states into even more peaceful and friendlier relationships, once again paying as much attention to purported cause as the effect in defining any Asian peace. More specifically, the transition point event that helped root a concept of peace in the region were changes in China's foreign policy in the early 1980s that reflected the country as a "quasi-status quo" state, promoting peace and economic development, rather than a revolutionary state characterized by being prepared for war (Xiao 2016).…”

“…Relatedly, states in the region are purported to have common interests, trust on norms and culture, and a sense of common identity, which has led to peace and cooperation (Kivimaki, 2001). Furthermore, analyses point to changes by political actors that subsequently created liberalized economic policy diffusion across East Asia (Goldsmith, 2014;Xiao, 2016;Tang, 2012); states in East Asia helped promote peace by shifting policy goals to emphasize economic growth and trade within and between countries in the region. This explanation has promise in that it comports with the shift from rivalry to negative peace found among ASEAN and other states.…”

Previous work on an Asian peace has been imprecise on where, when, and why it occurs. This study examines different levels of state-based peace starting with the absence of war; unlike other treatments, however, we examine the incidence of civil war as well as the traditional interstate war. We then consider a more stringent threshold for peace, focusing on the absence or diminution of violent conflicts short of war, specifically incidents of militarized disputes and lesser conflicts. Finally, we look a broader conception of peace (“positive peace”) and examine all state relationships in Asia along a peace scale, which ranges from serious rivalries to negative peace to integrated security communities. Our findings indicate the strongest evidence for Asian peace with respect to avoiding interstate war. Nevertheless, there are significant conflicts involving violence and the threat of military force that persist in the region. A number of rivalries, many of them long-standing, continue to raise the specter of war. In addition, positive peace in Asia is rare for interstate relations and isolated to a few states for internal peace.
