This book has four main objectives: to bring the thus far almost
entirely neglected historical case of 'the rise of Japan' into the
literature on power shifts in general and 'the rise of China' in
particular; to propose a discourse-based conceptualization of
identity for the study of economic policy that engages theoretical
and methodological debates on how to overcome the dichotomy between
'ideational' (identity) and 'material' (economic) factors; to
address the tendency to focus on the 'radical Other' in
poststructuralist IR scholarship, by highlighting how heterogeneity
disturbs exclusive and binary articulations of identity and
difference; and to propose a method for putting political discourse
theory (PDT) into practice in empirical research by drawing on
rhetorical political analysis (RPA). US congressional debates on
economic policy on Japan and China in 1985-2008 are analysed as
examples of official US elite public discourse. The book shows that
the 'new era' in US-Chinese relations that scholars and
policymakers have been announcing since the beginning of the Trump
presidency was long in the making, as it rests on longstanding
discourses on the USA's main economic competitor.
