Global value chains in a brave new world of geopolitics
Global value chains (GVCs) tightened economic interdependence and contributed to development in industrialized and industrializing states. Yet GVCs are progressively perceived as underpinning a country’s economic prowess and its ability to leverage technologies into military hardware and software, thus embodying hard and soft power. Providing a framework for understanding the domestic sources of this protectionist shift, the article analyzes the …
Digitized Statecraft in Multilateral Treaty Participation
Forum
The COVID-19 pandemic has had a dramatic influence on mortality and public health and generated much speculation on potential impacts on international politics. Fast-moving crises such as the COVID pandemic and 2008 financial crises entail many challenges for scholarship; events evolve rapidly, our prior knowledge base is limited, it is unclear whether existing theories or analogies apply, and new research findings emerge quickly but also erratic…
Regional Orders at Century's Dawn
International Politics and Institutions in Time
Critical Junctures, Developmental Pathways, and Incremental Change in Security Institutions
Historical institutionalism as an explicit tradition has largely remained on the sidelines in international security scholarship, with some exceptions. The chapter begins by reviewing the sources of resistance to the tradition in security studies. We then apply its analytical toolbox to two empirical realms at different levels of analysis: divergent regional security paths in East Asia and the Middle East; and the evolution of the nuclear non-pro…
Rashomon in North Korea? Comparing Northeast Asian approaches
The DPRK’s progressive nuclearization has evoked different responses in its Northeast Asian neighbors. A comparison across Japan, South Korea, and China offers a useful arena for addressing important debates in comparative and international politics. The three states differ with regards to their political systems and classical power disparities. The article distills general trends in their approach in light of—and sometimes in spite of—these diff…
Why do States Pursue Nuclear Weapons (or Not)
This essay traces the evolution of the literature on the rationale behind states' pursuit of nuclear weapons, from classical neorealist explanations focusing on relative power to neoliberal institutionalist ones underlining the deterrent power of institutions and constructivist work on the impact of norms, status, and identities. We call attention to their contributions as well as their conceptual and empirical deficiencies and introduce an appro…
Domestic Coalitions, Internationalization, and War
Recent commentary on the centenary of World War I evokes similarities between Germany then and China now, and between globalization then and now. The nature of dominant coalitions in both countries provides a conceptual anchor for understanding the links between internal and external politics in 1914 and 2014. Coalitional dynamics draw greater attention to agency in debates that all too often emphasize structure, impersonal forces, and inevitabil…
Of Dominoes and Firewalls
The Great Recession, Euro contagion, Middle East upheavals, nuclear proliferation, and expansion of rights, among others, highlight the centrality of diffusion to international studies. This Presidential Address outlines building blocks for a shared conceptualization of diffusion that is attentive to the initial stimulus; the medium through which information about the stimuli may/may not travel to other destinations; the political agents un/affec…
Regionalism
We review and analyze some recent research on regionalism. We begin by discussing how various studies have defined regions and regionalism. Because much of the work has been conducted by economists, we then turn to a summary of the economics of regionalism. However, it is widely held that economic factors alone are insufficient to explain regionalism's causes and consequences and that political factors are centrally important. We analyze how dome…
The Global Context of Comparative Politics
The literature on the international sources of domestic politics has an important pedigree in comparative politics in the works of Herz (1950), Gerschenkron (1962), Hintze (1975), Gourevitch (1978, 1986), Cameron (1978), Skocpol (1979, 1992), Bates (1981), Tilly (1985), Katzenstein (1985), Putnam (1988), Rogowski (1989), and world system and dependency theory, among others. Although, as Gourevitch (1996: 8) argued over a decade ago, “comparative …
The Genesis, Design and Effects of Regional Institutions
Why do regional institutions emerge, what accounts for their variation in design, and what are their effects? Several conceptual and epistemological perspectives—neorealism, neoliberal-institutionalism, constructivism, and domestic politics—provide competing and complementary answers to these questions. I focus on regional organizations as productive arenas for developing contingent propositions on institutions more generally. The purpose is to a…

Pax Asiatica versus Bella Levantina
Although turmoil characterized both the Middle East and East Asia in the two decades following World War II, the two regions looked dramatically different at the dawn of the twenty-first century. Since 1965 the incidence of interstate wars and militarized conflicts has been nearly five times higher in the Middle East, as was their severity, including the use of ballistic missiles and chemical weapons. By contrast, declining militarized conflict a…
Europeanisation and Internationalisation
This article explores changes in party competition and coalition-building patterns in the Czech Republic that underpinned its twin transition to democracy and a market economy in the 1990s and early 2000s. It charts the domestic political landscape that underlined the Czech Republic's evolution from a communist state to a modernising political economy under relatively benign global and regional conditions. A key objective is to map the new intern…
Southeast Asia in a New Era
The crisis of 1997–98 unleashed the most severe challenge to Southeast Asian ruling coalitions in decades. This article examines the domestic political consequences of the crisis, focusing on continuity and change in fundamental coalitional forms. Despite initial concerns with a potential backlash, internationalizing coalitions stayed the course while adapting to new political-institutional requirements imposed by the growing salience of social d…
The Triple Logic of the European–Mediterranean Partnership
Designed to fail or failure of design? The origins and legacy of the Arab League
In its nearly sixty years of existence the Arab League has achieved a relatively low level of cooperation. Although the League has had a measure of influence in socializing some Arab elites, it has fallen short in changing state preferences, in forcing significant adjustment of prior policies, or in achieving a pan-Arab blueprint to guide their collective behavior. At the same time, to the extent the League was designed to enhance state sovereign…
Domestic Coalitional Analysis and the Democratic Peace
Democratic do not wage wars against one another has developed into a thriving research programme in international relations. The programme includes both supporters and detractors who apply statistically oriented, formal-modelling, and case-study methods.1 The last has particular affinity with historical analysis. Spencer R. Weart, in testing the theory against evidence running from antiquity to the twentieth century, finds unqualified support for…
Middle East denuclearization? Lessons from Latin America's Southern Cone
International Relations theory has recently turned its attention to the study of comparative regionalism in economics and security. As part of this new research agenda, this article explores what we might learn from the Southern Cone's experience with denuclearization that might be applicable to the Middle East. The two regions differ with respect to security dilemmas, military capabilities and doctrines, and the prior availability of a cooperati…
Mapping Internationalization
This article introduces a conceptual design for mapping the domestic impact of internationalization. It proposes that internationalization leads to a trimodal domestic coalitional profile and advances a set of expectations about the regional effects of each profile. Aggregate data from ninety-eight coalitions in nineteen states over five regions suggests that between 1948 and 1993 the three coalitional types differed in their international behavi…
The Multilateral Arab-Israeli Negotiations
Why do national leaders choose to create a multilateral mechanism for international cooperation? This analysis of the multilateral Arab-Israeli peace negotiations (1993-95) takes stock of the original motivations in launching a multilateral process and of the subsequent development of institutional `focal points' in five issue areas: Arms Control and Regional Security, Economic Development, Refugees, Water, and the Environment. The multilaterals …
Asean, Quo Vadis? Domestic Coalitions and Regional Co‐operation
Introduction In 1967 Thailand, Singapore, Indonesia, Malaysia, and the Philippines signed the ASEAN Declaration, but the convening of the first summit meeting of heads of state was held only in 1976 (Bali), when they adopted the Concord Declaration and the Treaty of Amity and Cooperation in Southeast Asia. In time, Brunei, Vietnam, Laos, and Myanmar joined, with Cambodia likely to follow soon. The evolution of ASEAN has led to different interpret…
Asean, Quo Vadis? Domestic Coalitions and Regional Co‐operation
This article advances a coalitional approach to understanding ASEAN co-operation as a product of the domestic political forces that conceived and nurtured it.Pivotal leaders throughout the region forged supportive internationalist coalitions at home that favoured domestic and regional political and economic stability and global access.This strategy demanded accommodation and co-optation of backlash states in the region, in an effort to protect th…

The Political Economy of Nuclear Restraint
The author examines the economic component of domestic liberalization in different regional contexts in order to get closer to identifying an important engine of regime creation. In particular, ruling coalitions pursuing economic liberalization seem more likely to embrace regional nuclear regimes than their inward-looking, nationalist, and radical-confessional counterparts. The author suggests an alternate interpretation for why different states …

Democracy, Economic Reform and Regional Cooperation
This paper examines the impact of political and economic liberalization on regional conflict and cooperation. It concludes that: (1) even if democracy may be expected to have a positive effect on cooperation, it may be neither necessary nor sufficient; (2) instead, the grand political-economic strategies of domestic ruling coalitions may provide a more powerful predictor of regional outcomes. Coalitions strongly committed to economic liberalizati…
Macropolitical consensus and lateral autonomy in industrial policy
Levels of macropolitical consensus and sectoral institutional autonomy both influence industrial policy. Different combinations of high or low consensus and autonomy help anticipate the respective explanatory relevance of generic industrial models, sectoral agencies' trajectories, and bureaucratic politics. Industrial policy choices thus are not always determined by international market opportunities, relevant domestic endowments, or the politica…

Democratization in the Middle East
Author(s): Solingen, E | Abstract: The notion that democracies rarely wage wars against each other has gained remarkable acceptance in scholarly and policy circles. At the same time, a number of observers have expressed concern that incipient democratization in some Arab countries may pose a threat to the nascent peace between Israel and its neighbors. Are democratization and peace mutually exclusive or mutually supportive in this region? What ar…

Managing energy vulnerability
Strategies developed to cope with energy vulnerabilities provide a critical measure to evaluate a state’s capacity to adapt to changes in the international environment. This article examines the conditions shaping these strategies. The author argues that the requirements of domestic ruling coalitions underpin the selection of certain instruments and not others. Brazil’s domestic response, given the political requirements of rapid economic growth …
