Finding the origins of Covid-19
This article examines how China leverages strategic narratives to exercise discourse power in the international arena. Following the COVID-19 outbreak in Wuhan in December 2019, China proactively shaped global narratives to advance its national interests, despite World Health Organization’s investigations into the virus’s origins. Text and document analysis show that China systematically changed its messaging from cooperation to contestation. Thi…
Asymmetrical fairness in trade preferences
Asymmetric capacities across nations are a persistent reality in the global economy, but little is known about how people respond to these disparities. We provide the first experimental evidence on the phenomenon of asymmetrical fairness in trade preferences. We find that trade opinion divides over the relative economic capacity of the trade partner: Citizens treat smaller and less developed economies very differently in trade, even when the asym…
Between Confrontation and Assimilation
This article explains China's multilateral approach towards regional and global financial institutions in the early twenty-first century. Challenging the dichotomous views of ‘eventual assimilation’ and ‘systemic conflict’, the article argues that China's strategic behavior suggests neither one-way assimilation into an American-centered liberal order nor a collision course with the United States and its Group of Seven (G-7) allies. China seems in…
Politics of détente
Why have relations across the Taiwan Strait and the 38th parallel on the Korean Peninsula undergone different processes of détente and reversal? We apply the perspective of two-level games to understand the divergent experiences of these two cases of contested sovereignty and regime rivalry. In particular, we call attention to the alignment and misalignment of domestic and international of interests and influences in our analysis, and the dampeni…
After renaissance
Why does a re-emerging China pursue institutional strategies to expand its multilateral ties all over the world? This study explains the genesis of China’s new multilateral diplomacy toward Africa, Latin America, and the Middle East. The central argument of the study is that many strands of structural arguments drawn from realist, liberal, and constructivist insights cannot provide complete explanations about China’s multilateral activism without…
Toward normative fragmentation
This article argues for a pluralist, integrative, ‘post-Washington Consensus’ view of an East Asian financial architecture in the post-global crisis world. What are the key architectural problems and how might such problems be resolved? The article aims to address these general questions and to develop a policy-applicable theory about a post-crisis regional financial architecture by focusing on the case of East Asia. The generic problems identifi…
Asian Financial Cooperation
In this article, I show an important connection between global financial governance and Asian regional financial governance. My findings suggest that unless the G7-dominated global financial institutions resolve the legitimacy problems, which involve inclusiveness, rule-governance, and fair returns, Asian developing countries are unlikely to place whole stock in global solutions created to deal with global (and regional) financial issues. The per…
