The Oxford Handbook of Geoeconomics and Economic Statecraft

With intensifying tensions in the global system, the manipulation of economic interdependence for political ends is dramatically increasing. Examples include the Russian invasion of Ukraine and concerns about energy security in Europe as well as high technology conflict among the U.S., China, and the European Union. These actions have also affected developing countries, who have attempted to maneuver in increasingly complex interplay of politics and economics. The Oxford Handbook of Geoeconomics and Economic Statecraft provides comprehensive, critical, and contemporary coverage of issues at the intersection of political economy and strategic studies.

The Oxford Handbook of Geoeconomics and Economic Statecraft is a comprehensive, critical, and contemporary exploration of issues at the intersection of political economy and security studies. Long considered separate branches of political science, economics and security have become increasingly intertwined. The volume examines the state of the field, where it has been in the recent past, and where it is likely to go in future. Contributors examine conceptual edges of geoeconomics and economic statecraft as well as its core, the globalizing context of the field, and the challenges posed by social, economic, and technological changes.The twenty-eight chapters in the volume are divided into six parts. After the introduction to the volume, section 2 considers past and present thinking about the field. Section 3 explores the methods used in geoeconomics and economic statecraft. Section 4 looks at key issues. Section 5 covers the intersection of national security and geoeconomics, and the last section looks at regional perspectives in the field. Geoeconomics and economic statecraft are issues of contemporary concern and on the front pages of newspapers on an almost daily basis. This book provides the intellectual context and insights to understand the challenges and prospects that the world faces currently and over the long-term, making it a useful resource for academics, practitioners, business executives, journalists, and students.
