The Price of Empire
"Providing the best coverage of the wide-ranging imperialism that began in the 1850s, this book concentrates on early American imperialism in the Pacific and includes colourful. It describes how the racial legacy of early cases of imperialism led to modern denial of rights claims in U.S. Pacific territories"--
In the Shadow of International Law
In this book, Michael Poznansky asks why countries sometimes pursue activities such as regime change in the shadows rather than out in the open for the world to see. He finds that international law plays a key role in this decision-making process because senior government officials, especially in the United States, are sensitive to brazenly violating rules surrounding when countries should and shouldn't intervene in the internal affairs of others. He argues that while the existence of such restrictions don't always prevent great powers from undertaking regime change when it suits their interests, they do have meaningfully impacts.
Grand Strategy in 10 Words
This book introduces ten key terms for analysing grand strategy and shows how the world’s great powers – the United States, China, Russia and the European Union (EU) – shape their strategic decisions today and shows how the choices made will determine the course of world politics in the first half of the 21st century.
Development and Foreign Policy in Turkey
This book sketches an institutional political economy framework to discuss the interaction between development and foreign policy in the global South with reference to Turkey. The authors argue that although the developmental state framework has commonly been employed to explore domestic economic development processes without analytically focusing on the foreign policy dimension, developmental state institutions are highly relevant in the creation and pursuit of a development-oriented foreign policy at a time of growing uncertainty marred by geopolitical and geoeconomic tensions. The book develops a two-level ‘Regime Coherence Framework’ to account for the domestic and international dimensions of development-oriented foreign policy. The main argument posits that the development regime in Turkey and associated foreign policies lack coherence, due to weak institutional complementarities between economic governance, state-business relations, and financial statecraft at the domestic-external nexus.
Sovereign Funds
“A fascinating insight into the evolution of China’s financial policy and its strategic investments using leveraged foreign exchange reserves.” —Diane Coyle, Enlightened Economist “[Liu] shows that Chinese sovereign funds are so different from better-known sovereign wealth funds, such as those of the governments of Abu Dhabi and Norway, that she prefers to call them ‘sovereign leveraged funds’...These various exotic workarounds, which Liu skillfully traces, produce ‘shadow reserves.’” —Andrew J. Nathan, Foreign Affairs “Follow the money, find the politics...Liu shows how China pioneered a whole new class of sovereign wealth funds.” —Times of India One of the keys ...
The Geopolitics of China's Belt and Road Initiative
This book argues that China’s Belt and Road Initiative should be seen more as a geopolitical project and less as a global economic project, with China aiming to bring about a new Chinese-led international order. It contends that China’s international approach has two personas – an aggressive one, focusing on a nineteenth century-style territorial empire, which is applied to Taiwan and the seas adjacent to China; and a new-style persona, based on relationship building with the political elites of countries in the Global South, relying on large scale infrastructure projects to help secure the elites in power, a process often leading to lower democratic participation and weaker governance...
Radical Political Economics
This collection of essays engages in the analysis of key concepts, concerns, and cutting-edge insights in radical political economy. Offering a robust critique of capitalist institutions as well as of mainstream economics, radical political economics reveals the structures and dynamics of global capitalism. The attention to method, ideology, and institutions differentiates it from mainstream approaches to economics, which often obfuscate how capitalism actually works. While maintaining a central focus on capitalism, the analyses in this book encompass a variety of issues from racial discrimination, gender inequality, to economic development and imperialism. Capitalism is an economic system b...
