Resumen
This article analyzes interstate competition and the new power configurations of the Sino-American hegemonic conflict from the perspective of the dynamics of China’s incorporation into the longue durée of the capitalist world economy. Its central argument is that the historical specificity of wealth and power accumulation in East Asia in general and China in particular diverges from Western patterns characterized by military competition and territorial expansion, making it inappropriate to compare China with other Western powers that aspired to hegemony. To do so, the debate on the possible outcomes of the crisis of American hegemony is presented. Then, the expansionary matrix of the great European powers is discussed. Third, China’s incorporation into the capitalist world-economy is reconstructed from the First Opium War to the Great Recession. Finally, a brief answer is attempted as to why China’s expansionary form diverges from other Western powers that sought hegemony.
