7. Analyzing the China foreign policy from Three POV
China’s rise with regards to
regional security since they
suggest a revisionist direction of
foreign policy for a rising China
China will not upset the
existing international system
because a status quo-
oriented foreign policy best
fits China’s interests
8. Realism emphasizes the role of the nation-state and makes a broad assumption that all nation-
states are motivated by national interests, or, at best, national interests disguised as moral
concerns.
Liberalism, political doctrine that takes protecting and enhancing the freedom of the individual to
be the central problem of politics. Liberals typically believe that government is necessary to
protect individuals from being harmed by others; but they also recognize that government itself
can pose a threat to liberty.
Constructivism is the claim that significant aspects of international relations are historically and
socially constructed, rather than inevitable consequences of human nature or other essential
characteristics of world politics.

The Prisoner’s Dilemma is a game in strategic form between two players. Each player has two strategies, called “cooperate” and “defect,” which are labeled C and D for player I and c and d for player II, respectively. (For simpler identification, upper case letters are used for strategies of player I and lower case letters for player II.)
Figure 1 shows the resulting payoffs in this game. Player I chooses a row, either C or D, and simultaneously player II chooses one of the columns c or d. The strategy combination (C; c) has payoff 2 for each player, and the combination (D; d) gives each player payoff 1. The combination (C; d) results in payoff 0 for player I and 3 for player II, and when (D; c) is played, player I gets 3 and player II gets 0.
