“…According to the so-called hegemonic stability theory (HST), 7 leadership is often associated with the role played by hegemonic actors. HST posits that if there is a dominating power, the international economic system is most likely to be open and stable, while in the absence of a hegemon instability and protectionism are expected to flourish.…”

In this article we compare US and EU support for bilateral and multilateral international trade law. We assess the support for international law of both trading blocs by focusing on the following four dimensions: leadership, consent, compliance and internalization. Although we find strong support for international trade law from both the US and the EU in general, we also witness some variation, most notably in relation to the design of preferential trade agreements (PTAs) and compliance with World Trade Organization (WTO) law. Turning to explaining these (moderate) differences, we argue that outcomes in US trade policy can best be explained by a domestic political factor, namely the direct influence of interest groups. Although the involvement of societal interests also goes a long way in explaining EU behavior, it does not tell the entire story. We posit that, in EU trade policy, institutions are a particular conditioning factor that needs to be stressed. Moreover, we suggest that foreign policy considerations in managing trade relations have characterized EU’s support for international trade law.

Rising powers have attracted tremendous interest in international politics and theory. Yet the ways in which secondary powers strategically respond to regional changes in the distribution of power have been largely neglected. This article seeks to fill this gap by presenting a systematic comparative analysis of the different types of and causes of contestation strategies undertaken by secondary powers. Empirically, it focuses on two contentious regional dyads in East and South Asia, exploring how structural, behavioral, and historical factors shape the way in which Japan and Pakistan respond, respectively, to China's and India's regional power politics. The paper concludes that the explanatory power of these factors depends on the particular context: in the case of Japan, China's militarily assertive regional role has invoked the most significant strategic shifts, while in the case of Pakistani contestation, shifts in polarity have had the largest impact on the strategic approach.

“…Table 1 Thus, an international political stance is feasible as long as it is associated with a sus ainable international economic pattern of the country. t A paradigmatic example of modern analysis of the economic implications of international political status is provided by Kindleberger (1976Kindleberger ( , 1981, who examined the role of the US in the post-World-War-II international order and proposed that it should be defined as one of international leadership. Kindleberger pointed out that sheer will, political power, or even command over material and strategic resources are not enough in themselves for a country to become an international leader.…”
