Robert Sutter, Professor of Practice of International Affairs

Based on a review of available scholarship and interviews with 210 specialists and officials from 10 Asia-Pacific governments over the past eight years, Dr. Robert Sutter has found a number of metrics to use in assessing China's actual influence as it rises in Asia and the world.

In his judgment, these metrics work better than much of the evidence used in the prevailing discourse on China's rise and U.S. decline in assisting observers come to reasonable judgments about the status and outlook of the Asian and international order. Based on his assessment, Sutter forecasts that China's rise will continue to be encumbered by a regional order still led by the United States.
