Seeking the Beijing Consensus in Asia: An Empirical Test of Soft Power Jiakun Jack Zhang Department of Political Science Duke University

Question?

Outline Define Beijing Consensus Operationalize Variables Establish Hypotheses Statistical Analysis Conclusion Appendix

Beijing Consensus China Model Soft power challenge: Economic and Ideological Focus: Ideological challenge to the Washington Consensus (liberal democratic order) Beijing Consensus = non-democratic version of state capitalism Soft Power = China’s influence measured by public opinion survey

Variables 2010 Asian Barometer Survey Independent Variables China’s Regional Influence China’s Country Influence China’s Future Influence Dependent Variables Development Preference (China Model) Democracy Preference

Hypotheses H1a: Those who perceive China’s influence in the region as positive are more likely view China as a model for their own country’s development. (chinainf & devpref) H1b: Those who perceive China’s influence on their country as positive are more likely view China as a model for their own country’s development. (q161 & devpref) H1c: Those who perceive China’s influence as growing are more likely view China as a model for their own country’s development. (change & devpref) H2a: Those who perceive China’s influence in the region as positive are less likely to favor democracy. (chinainf & dempref) H2b: Those who perceive China’s influence on their country as positive are less likely to favor democracy. (q161 & devpref) H2c: Those who perceive China’s influence as growing are less likely to favor democracy. (change & devpref) China’s Influence Development Preference Democracy Preference

Conclusions Evidence for Beijing Consensus theory very weak: Affinity for Chinese influence had negligible impact on the respondent’s desire to adopt the China Model No relationship could be found between favorable attitudes towards China and preference for democracy Asia was easy case: if BCT fails in Asia it should fail elsewhere Alternative Explanations: hard power matters Future Extensions: Complete ABS surveys, Africa survey China’s Influence Development Preference? Democracy Preference?
