China hat durch den Bau und die Militarisierung künstlicher Inseln im Südchinesischen Meer strittige Tatsachen geschaffen. Insbesondere von Seiten der USA wird dieses Verhalten als offensiv und regional-hegemonial charakterisiert, während China das eigene Verhalten anhand defensiver Zielsetzungen rechtfertigt. Basierend auf den theoretischen Prämissen des offensiven Realismus und vor dem Hintergrund der ressourcenbedingten, sicherheits- und geopolitischen Relevanz des Südchinesischen Meers analysiert diese Studie das Verhalten der Volksrepublik in der dortigen Weltregion in den Jahren 2014-2015. Das Ergebnis zeigt, dass China durch kalkuliert offensives Verhalten in der Lage ist, die eigene Position im Südchinesischen Meer relativ risikofrei zu stärken, ohne dabei in eine direkte militärische Konfrontation oder gar einen Krieg mit Anrainerstaaten oder den USA zu gelangen.... view less

China has created controversial facts by building and militarizing artificial islands in the South China Sea. Therefore, Chinese behavior in one of the world's most intense territorial disputes is characterized by the U.S. as offensive and regional hegemonic, whereas China justifies its behavior by referring to defensive objectives. Along with its behavior in the years 2014 to 2015, this paper analyses China's resource-related, security, and geopolitical interests in the South China Sea from the perspective of offensive realism. This paper shows how China can strengthen its position in the South China Sea relatively risk-free through calculated offensive behavior without getting into a direct military confrontation or even a war with neighboring states or the United States of America.... view less
