Announcement
The rise of “new economic statecraft” (Aggarwal and Reddie 2020) is having a profound effect on international economic relations and security around the world. In the Asia-Pacific, we have seen aggressive intervention by countries in trade, finance, and investment, with all major countries in the region engaging in such behavior. This development raises a host of key academic and policy questions: What are the implications of such policies for international business? What are the effects of such policies on middle powers in the region, often on the receiving end of such policies by the U.S. and China? And what are the prospects of controlling such intervention from an international institutional perspective?
