Offensive structural realists try to predict and interpret the actions of states in the anarchical international system based on the characteristics of this system. According to them, a rising great power will start to behave aggressively and try to dominate its regions in order to augment its security. This thesis analyses the rise of China from an offensive structural realist perspective. It mainly focuses on offensive structural realists’ arguments that rising China will try to be a regional hegemon. In this context, the relationship between China's military rise and economic rise, the Taiwan question, and the Belt and Road Initiative are examined in the thesis. Offensive structural realists' claims about the rising China are compared with official statements of China, the possible consequences of China's Taiwan policy and the Belt and Road Initiative, and facts about these cases.

Hence, as experience and strategies of socialist customs in our country is investigated regarding loc...
