China's Military Interventions: Patterns, Drivers, and Signposts

By Timothy R. Heath

Great powers have frequently employed large, expeditionary military forces engaged in various operations abroad.

The report's authors assess which one of two patterns is likely to predominate in China's future and how this pattern might change.
