The connections between trade and security are hardly new. Analysts
and practitioners have clearly recognized this interrelationship
since the mercantilist arguments of the 16th and 17th centuries.
Despite wishful economic liberal thinking that might prefer to
separate the political from the economic, it is widely recognized
that trade and security are fundamentally interconnected in the
foreign policy of states. Over time, as new forms of trade policy
have come into being and the international security environment has
evolved, the nexus of these two spheres has grown more complex and
scholars have struggled to understand their interconnection This
edited volume addresses linkages between trade and security by
examining the influence of security factors in driving trade policy
measures and the corresponding implications of different types of
trade arrangements for international security. Ultimately, the
project shows that several elements traditional economic factors,
traditional security factors, and human security factors can affect
the development of trade agreements and unilateral policies, and
that trade policies may have both a direct and an indirect effect
on traditional and human security. The project focuses on Asia, a
region where economics is increasingly important but many security
issues still linger unresolved, as a primary setting to test trade
linkage theories. It also provides a comparative perspective
through examination of how the EU and US have used their trade
policies to achieve non-economic goals and how these policies have
influenced their security environment. Case studies in this project
cover key trade institutions and agreements including the World
Trade Organization, the Association of Southeast Asian Nations,
ASEAN Plus Three, the East Asia Summit, the Asia-Pacific Economic
Cooperation forum, the Shanghai Cooperation Organization, and
bilateral preferential trade agreements.
In this volume, a set of issue and country experts tackle the
questions surrounding the challenges of a resurgent Russia for the
world order as well as for relations between the European Union and
the United States. Following a brief introduction laying out the
circumstances of Russia's rise, the book proceeds in three
sections. In the first, Russian scholars tackle the topic of how a
newly resurgent Russia sees the world. The second section examines
Russia's role in the contemporary global political economy in terms
of trade and financial flows and nuclear energy. The third section
looks at American and European responses to Russia, and the
conclusion draws together the findings from each of the chapters
and presents some broad propositions regarding Russia's rise and
the challenges that it presents for the US, EU and the
international order in the years to come. The implications of this
collection are very broad and far-reaching, with ramifications for
each of the players involved as well as for the development and
refinement of general international relations theories concerning
global conflict and cooperation, making the book relevant for both
policy-makers and scholars of international relations, Russian
studies, and international political economy."
