Security Strategy for Rise of Nations and the Choice for China

The rise of nations is a zigzag process which means a comparatively quick development in political,economic,and military capabilities and it is bound to involve other nations' interest.Thus every nation will face the 'dilemma of rise' during the process of its rise,which makes it important to figure out an appropriate security strategy to ensure its successful rise.There are six types of rising modes in history,i.e.i)by military force;ii)by alignment;iii)balance of power;iv)collective security;v)free-riding,and vi)by integration.Currently China is likely to realize its peaceful rise and during such a process,China should consider cooperative security as its main strategy with the supporting strategies of military security and collective security.
