“…Because TPP includes Canada and Mexico and improves substantially on NAFTA's shortcomings, it delivers on that promise. TPP learns from past trade agreements, including NAFTA, by upgrading existing standards and setting new high standards that reflect today's economic realities.. 7 …TPP representing a renegotiation of NAFTA… (https://ustr.gov/tpp/) 8 However, after Donald Trump took office as US president, one of the first things 9 his administration did was abandoning the TPP. 10 After the USA left the TPP, the remaining eleven parties approved a slightly revised version called that became the Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership (CP-TPP, also known as TPP-11).…”

The Agreement between the United States of America, the United Mexican States, and Canada (USMCA) includes a sunset clause that states that the agreement shall terminate 16 years after the date of its entry into force, unless each Party expresses its will to continue the agreement for another 16 years. We will apply John H. Jackson's theory on power oriented and rule oriented diplomacy to analyze that sunset clause. We argue that the sunset clause will offer strong incentives for power oriented diplomacy, and that this will likely affect USMCA dispute settlement, authentic interpretations and efforts to diversify trade flows.

“…While economic nationalism is an important feature of economic policy in most countries (Busch, 1999;Clift and Woll, 2012), in debates about Chinese FDI, mercantilist goals and tactics are frequently attributed to Chinese firms. But this is also the case with the US government, which has sought to use a variety of trade policy and regulatory tools to target Chinese companies, such as Huawei in the context of the development of 5G technology (Shen and Shang, 2020; Friis and Lysne, this issue). Such initiatives are often bound up with a more general securitization of Chinese investments, and these relate to discourses about Chinese firms as security threats, especially in the USA (Zhang, 2021), but also increasingly in Europe (Rogelja and Tsimonis, 2020).…”

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 analyses presented in this special issue significantly advance our understanding of the dynamics and consequences of China's deepening economic engagements in Europe. They do so particularly in relation to the contentious issues surrounding corporate acquisitions by Chinese companies, the security problems associated with some investments and the impact of China's investment finance. This introductory article offers an institutional framework for comprehending the other articles that constitute the special issue and provides summaries of their contents. Additionally, it provides an assessment of how the special issue's contribution advances our understanding of China's externalization and its implications for European economic development.1. The concept of global externalization (GE) adds analytical precision to the popularized notion of 'globalization'. It does so by disaggregating the economic logics of capitalism (associated with capitalism's universal core: profit-making and related activities) from its socio-political logics (associated with the dominant national form of capitalism in a given historical period). The latter are variable and condition the way the former, the economic logics, are applied as the dominant national capitalism (represented by its business corporations, etc.) moves transnationally. GE thus offers an explanation for why different globally dominant national forms of capitalism (e.g. Britain in the 19th century, the United States post-1945, perhaps China in the near future) tend to produce different outcomes (economic, social, political) when they articulate, via investment, etc., with the forms of capitalism
