Great Power Competition and Middle Power Strategies : Economic Statecraft in the Asia-Pacific Region

This edited volume addresses geo-economic strategic competition in the Indo-Pacific, exploring both the theoretical and thematic contours of this concept and issue-specific dynamics in the areas of finance, trade, energy, and technology competition.

Chapters focus on the impact of renewed great power competition between Washington and Beijing in the Indo-Pacific region across these four areas.

Each addresses central concerns for the future of the global economic order and offers a lens to understand interstate competition in light of the geopolitical shifts resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic.

Written by an international panel of experts, this volume provides a cohesive view of the region's most pressing issues.

As such, it will be relevant to scholars specializing in Indo-Pacific domestic politics and foreign policy, U.S. foreign policy, middle powers, China-U.S. relations, China-EU relations, Asia-Pacific developments, international security, international political economy, and emerging markets.
