Abstract

This literature review examines China's rise as an emerging international hegemon and its impact on the transformation of the global order. Grounded in Organski's power transition theory, the study explores this framework's theoretical principles and empirical evidence while distinguishing it from classical realism. The review outlines the phases of power transition—potential power, transitional growth, and power maturity—and applies these phases to China's historical trajectory from an agrarian economy to an industrialized global power. Special emphasis is placed on pivotal milestones, including Mao Zedong's economic strategies, Deng Xiaoping's market reforms, and Xi Jinping's assertive policies such as the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI). Through the lens of power transition theory, the article highlights China's strategic efforts to challenge Western dominance, particularly the United States (US), and reshape the international order. This study raises critical questions about the future of global leadership and stability amidst the shifting power dynamics between a declining US and a rising China.

Abstract

This paper investigates the internal restructuring of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) under Xi Jinping’s leadership and its influence on policy-making and foreign policy behavior. Drawing on an integrated theoretical framework that combines the Bureaucratic Politics Model and Two-Level Game Theory, the study examines how China's increasingly centralized political architecture allows for a more coherent implementation of policies from the top down. The paper argues that the restructuring of the CCP through the consolidation of decision-making power within the Politburo Standing Committee, the elevation of Party-led commissions, and the expanding control over state bureaucracies not only enhance administrative efficiency but also to strategically align domestic priorities with China’s international ambitions. Domestic economic policies, often managed by Party-led bureaucracies, now function as instruments of external leverage. This analysis contributes to a more nuanced understanding of China's domestic–international policy nexus, particularly how centralized authority and controlled bureaucratic channels reduce fragmentation in domestic preferences, thereby shaping China’s negotiation behavior, strategic signaling, and foreign policy consistency.
