The Political Economy of Geoeconomics: Europe in a Changing World

"A must read for anyone interested in the politics and economics of autonomy and interdependence in a new era."

-Sarah Bauerle Danzman, Indiana University Bloomington

"The Political Economy of Geoeconomics makes a critical contribution. It is a must read for anyone interested in economic coercion and Europe."

-Abraham Newman, Georgetown University

"A comprehensive book on geoeconomics and the role of Europe could not be timelier."

-A ndreas Nölke, Goethe University Frankfurt This book brings together researchers from different analytical perspectives for the study of contemporary geoeconomics to create a broader and more useful catalogue of conceptual tools, empirical entry points, and case studies around the subject. The distinctive contribution this book offers is its firm rooting in International Political Economy and the hitherto under-researched geoeconomics dynamics of Europe. Many existing accounts of geoeconomics have been developed in International Relations and often reproduce some of the state-centric and static assumptions of the discipline. Recent scholarship furthermore tends to focus on the US-China rivalry, thus discounting the role of other global powers in shaping geoeconomics. As a first collective contribution to the topic in the field of International Political Economy, the book stands to become a major reference point in the field for the coming years. Interest in geoeconomics as well as in related concepts like weaponized interdependence or emerging new rivalries has been on the rise in recent years and will be one of the key research areas in the coming decade of transition and change in Europe and beyond.
