Geoeconomic Exposure and EU Industrial Policy
This article examines how export dependencies shape the EU’s industrial policy dynamics amid intensifying techno-nationalist rivalry between the US and China. While existing scholarship on how the intensifying geopolitical competition drives the EU’s “new industrial policy” has focused primarily on import dependencies, foreign direct investment, and political/security alliances, we argue that export dependence constitutes an equally consequential…
Mapping the oil elite web
The oil and gas industry remains central to global production and consumption, wielding significant economic and political power. This power stems not only from the strategic value of its resources but also from the industry’s embedded social power. This paper conceptualizes and analyzes this social embeddedness through the lens of elite network embeddedness. It opens up the black box of the firms at the top of the oil and gas industry and highli…
The end of open door globalism
President Biden promised to reverse ‘America First’ foreign policy and restore US global leadership, yet his administration largely continued Trump’s shift away from the long-standing grand strategy of Open Door Globalism. While partially reembracing diplomacy and alliances, Biden and the Democratic foreign policy elite consolidated the Trumpian shift away from (neo-)liberal expansionism to a strategy of economic nationalism and expansive competi…
Decline of the West? An IPE perspective on the multiplex world order and the ‘geoeconomic turn’
The concept of multiplexity describes an emerging world order in which non-western powers play an increasingly important role and US-centred western dominance is waning. Given the centrality of ‘the West’ to economic globalization since the Second World War, the geoeconomic turn and shift towards more nationally-oriented economic strategies in the 2010s and early 2020s could be considered a development that further accelerates the emergence of a …
The Geoeconomic Turn in International Trade, Investment, and Technology
This thematic issue brings together a set of articles that empirically map the state of the ongoing geoeconomic turn in the global political economy from an international political economy (IPE) perspective. Changes in the modus operandi of the global political economy urge the development of new conceptual and theoretical tools to grasp the new geoeconomic reality of world affairs. At the same time, the contemporary study of geoeconomics remains…
Chinese Multinationals and Europe’s Geoeconomic Turn
Amid increasing geopolitical tensions between Western powers and China over the alleged state-capitalist nature of Chinese corporate internationalization, European governments have introduced a set of political measures tightening their trade and investment regimes on grounds of national security and economic competitiveness. This article analyzes how this “geoeconomic turn” in Europe affected the internationalization of (state-backed) Chinese fi…
The state in global capitalism before and after the Covid-19 crisis
The Covid-19 crisis has once again brought the role of the state in the capitalist economy to the fore. Rather than viewing this as a ‘return of the state’, this article conceptualises the current dynamic in terms of a reconfiguration of the roles the state plays, distinguishing between a market-creating, a market-correcting, a market-intervening, and a market-directing role, with each role having both an internal and an external dimension. This …
Geopolitics and the 'New' State Capitalism
We may be witnessing the emergence of a new ‘state capitalist’ normal, a term this Forum proposes to problematise in its geopolitical dimensions. The growing prevalence of state-sponsored entities (encompassing state enterprises, policy banks, and sovereign wealth funds) as leading vehicles of economic activity is a defining feature of our times. This reassertion of state authority is altering configurations of state and corporate power across th…
The Wind from the East
In recent years Europe has become a primary focus for Chinese investment. In the context of the rolling out of Chinese government plans such as its Belt and Road Initiative and ‘Made in China 2025’ industrial strategy, and the fact that many Chinese companies are either controlled or influenced by the Communist Party, major consequences for Europe's economic development — and its social, political and geopolitical corollaries — are now in train. …
The transnationalist US foreign-policy elite in exile? A comparative network analysis of the Trump administration
The presidency of Donald Trump - often framed as a result of a populist revolt against the elites of Washington and Wall Street - and his apparent break with the postwar liberal internationalist foreign-policy elite consensus, has raised fundamental questions about the future of elite power in the USA and the implications for its global role. As established by previous research, America's foreign-policy elite has in the past decades been closely …
Emerging Sino-European Corporate Elite Networks
Chinese investments into Europe have been growing prodigiously in the past decade and are increasingly the subject of controversy. However, while a lot of empirical data and analysis are available on the flows and stocks of these investments, we still know very little about the loci of corporate power and control behind them. This article focuses on a domain where substantive power of decision making and control regarding these investments lies: …
China’s rise in a liberal world order in transition – introduction to the Forum
In a time of great uncertainty about the future and resilience of the liberal world order this Forum focuses on China’s rise and interplay with the foundations of that liberal order. The key question is the extent to and variegated ways in which China - with its (re)ascendance to power and potential global leadership – is adapting to and perhaps even strengthening liberal institutions and rules of the game, confronting them, or developing alterna…
China Inc. goes global. Transnational and national networks of China’s globalizing business elite
Within the debate of China’s rise and its implications for the liberal order this research focuses on China’s global posture through its transnationalizing firms and capital. On the basis of a detailed and systematic mapping and network analysis of a novel database on China’s largest firms, across a variety of sectors and ownership types, and their boards of directors, the study assesses if and how China is engaging with existing transnational bu…
US-China relations and the liberal world order
The future of liberal internationalism will be influenced increasingly by the re-emergence of China as a major power on the world stage and by the way the United States is reacting to China's growing influence. In this article, we discern three possible scenarios: one of inevitable conflict, one of gradual co-optation and a hybrid scenario of coexistence. We argue that in order to understand the development of the Sino-US relationship and the som…

American Grand Strategy and Corporate Elite Networks
This book presents a novel analysis of how US grand strategy has evolved from the end of the Cold War to the present, offering an integrated analysis of both continuity and change. The post-Cold War American grand strategy has continued to be oriented to securing an ‘open door’ to US capital around the globe. This book will show that the three different administrations that have been in office in the post-Cold War era have pursued this goal with …
Corporate elite networks and US post-Cold War grand strategy from Clinton to Obama
This article seeks to explain both the continuity and the changes in US grand strategy since the end of the Cold War by adopting a critical political economy approach that focuses on the social origins of grand strategy-making. Systematically seeking to link agency and structure, we analyse how grand strategy-makers operate within given social contexts, which we define in terms of, on the one hand, elite networks within which these actors are emb…
The Limits of Open Door Imperialism and the US State–Capital Nexus
This article analyses the US state–capital nexus at the heart of an American imperialism currently reaching its limits. In a first part we argue that the US state has consistently sought to promote and facilitate the global expansion of US capital, indicating a tight coupling between the two. Indeed, this so-called Open Door imperialism has been shaped and cemented by the strong ties between the foreign policy-making state apparatus and America's…
The Reconfiguration of the Global State–Capital Nexus
Noting an apparent ‘return’ of the state this article analyzes the rearticulation of state–capital relations in the context of the current global crisis. Departing from the notion that capital and state are internally related, we distinguish four roles that the state can play with respect to capital accumulation and on that basis examine to what extent and how the state–capital nexus is reconfigured in both the global South and global North. We a…
The Rebound of the Capitalist State
With the financial crisis and the shockwaves it has sent through the global system many argue that we are witnessing the end of an era: a simultaneous crisis of neoliberal globalization and a crisi
The Hybridization of the State–Capital Nexus in the Global Energy Order
This article theorizes the broader rearticulation of state power within the global energy order—signified by the resurgence of resource nationalism and the expansion abroad of state-owned non-Western energy corporations—alongside the persistently widening and deepening transnationalization of the global energy order. This is argued to be rooted in the broader dynamics of capital accumulation, in particular its expansive character and statist dime…
Oil elite networks in a transforming global oil market
This article analyses oil elite formation in light of the wider transformation that is taking place in the global oil order due to the rise of powers from the Global South, including Russia: in particular, the expansion and integration of the state-owned oil companies into the global oil market. This is done by analysing the networks that the directors of the world’s largest oil companies create through their affiliations with a) other corporatio…
A global energy network? The expansion and integration of non‐triad national oil companies
It is widely perceived that the rising influence of state‐owned energy companies from outside the traditional triad (USA, EU, Japan) is transforming the structure of the global energy market and generating a new wave of resource‐nationalism. There is, however, little empirical analysis of how this process has unfolded. Addressing this empirical gap, in this article I employ a longitudinal social network analysis of the changing corporate relation…
Varieties of US Post-Cold War Imperialism
Seeking to explain the changes — within underlying continuities — that have taken place in US geopolitical strategy since the early 2000s, this article analyses the dialectical interplay between political agency — in turn linked to specific social forces — and changing structural conditions within the global political economy. Geopolitical strategy is thus seen as constructed through a network of actors whose practices are shaped by their own soc…
