“…ASEAN nations include Myanmar, Thailand, Cambodia, Laos, Vietnam, Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, Singapore and Brunei. The total area of ASEAN countries is about 4.479 million km 2 , with a population of 618 million (2014 data). ASEAN countries have a very important geopolitical position, being located south of China, north of Australia, west of the Pacific Ocean and east of the Indian Ocean ( Figure 1).…”

“…Many scholars turn their attention to geo-economics and geo-economic relationships. Wigell defined geo-economics as the geostrategic use of economic power and constructed two typologies: strategic frame (competitive or cooperative) and economic power (as goal or means) [2,3]. A strategic frame leads to two different views of geo-economic relationships.…”

Abstract:In the last 30 years, China's economic power has experienced great changes and has brought about a profound impact on the world economy. This led us to ask a question: do changes in China's economic power shift the geo-economic relationships between China and its neighboring countries? To answer this question, we researched the evolution of geo-economic relationships between China and the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) countries. Using the Euclidean distance method, we explored the changes in these geo-economic relationships between China and ASEAN countries from 1980 to 2014. Our findings resulted in five conclusions: (1) Over time, geo-economic relationships between China and ASEAN countries remained relatively stable.(2) Geographically, the main geo-economic relationships between China and continental ASEAN countries were complementary, while the main geo-economic relationships between China and island ASEAN countries were competitive. (3) Geopolitics and geo-culture were attributed to the changes in geo-economic relationships. (4) The evolution of geo-economic relationships was characterized by path dependence. (5) Geo-economic relationships between China and ASEAN countries could be classified into four types: game type, with high cooperation and competition; complementary type, with high cooperation and low competition; fight type, with low cooperation and high competition; and loose type, with low cooperation and competition. Our findings contribute to improving the understanding of geo-economic relationships.

“…Trade powers prioritize achieving geo-economic strategic goals through interregional trade agreements [25,26]. Brazil, China, and India rely on nonmilitary means in their soft balance with the United States, and they attach importance to geo-economic strategy [27]. Through these studies, it is not difficult to find that geo-economic elements are influencing the competition and cooperation of the geo-economy.…”

With the continuous advancement of the Belt and Road Initiative, countries along the Belt and Road are becoming the most important geo-economic space for China’s peaceful rise. This paper constructs a geo-economic model to measure the geo-economic relations between China and countries along the Belt and Road, analyzes the spatial-temporal patterns of geo-economic flow between China and these countries, and discusses the spatial agglomeration of geo-economic flow between China and these countries. The results show that the geo-economic flow between China and the countries along the Belt and Road is increasing and the geo-economic relations between China and these countries are continuing to improve. Trade flow is far greater than investment flow, and China’s geo-economic relations with these countries have mainly relied on trade flow. The spatial differentiation of geo-economic flow between China and countries along the Belt and Road is significant. The development of geo-economic relations is unbalanced, and regional powers play an important role. The geo-economic center of gravity of China and countries along the Belt and Road was moving in the northeastern part of India and it first moved to the northwest and then to the southeast. China’s geo-economic space has obvious core-peripheral structure characteristics, and Southeast Asia is the core area of China’s geo-economic space. China’s geo-economic space presents a northwest-southeast pattern in the direction. There has been a significant, positive spatial autocorrelation in geo-economic flow between China and the countries along the Belt and Road, but the overall spatial agglomeration has been weak. The geo-economic flow agglomerations of China and these countries have mainly occurred in Southeast Asia, and the main agglomeration type has been high–high. The geo-economic activities of China and Southeast Asia had certain spatial spillover effects. To promote the sustainable development of China’s geo-economic relations with the countries along the Belt and Road, China should upgrade investment networks with these countries, optimize geo-economic relations with regional powers, and promote the full development of trade flow, investment flow and other geo-economic element flow.

“…Assim, a interação entre ideias e interesses seria, portanto, uma tensão dinâmica Uma explicação da política comercial da UE a partir de uma perspectiva realista não se pretende ser uma bala de prata-para usar uma expressão recentemente avançada por Smith (2016) -mas enfatizar a influência de mudanças na economia internacional sobre essa esfera da atuação da UE. E igualmente, salientar que a UE tem sido muito mais reativa ao sistema internacional do que o mainstream de relações internacionais está disposto a admitir, em acordo com a proposição do Realismo Comercial e outros estudos dessa vertente teórica (ZIMMERMAN, 2007;WIGELL, 2016).…”

“…A assunção da abordagem da geoeconomia -amplamente inserida na tradição realista -é que entidades unitárias, ou a UE, competem com atores rivais para fortalecerem suas posições relativas(GROSSE, 2014;LUTTWAK, 1990;MATTLIN & WIGELL, 2016). No entanto, boa parte desse processo ocorre na esfera econômica, ao invés da militar.…”

A União Europeia na governança global: uma análise de negociações de comércio com os BRICS e o GCC

Traditional analyses of EU trade policy stem from the theoretical frameworks of commercial liberalism, principal-agent or liberal-institutionalism. Very few works have approached this policy arena as part of EU's foreign policy, or used an approach from the realist tradition of international relations. This work analyzes the EU's approach to the BRICS and the GCC (Gulf Cooperation Council) blocs, which have not been the subject of a specific European strategy-and also the secondary case-studies of Mercosul and of the TransAtlantic Partnership (TTIP). The theoretical framework employed here derives from the commercial realism thesis developed by Meissner (2016) that explains how rival actors, counterpart region, member states and interest groups lead to an interregional or bilateral policy design. However, we also take into account the use of trade instruments to advance foreign policy goals and the EU's recent emphasis in concluding bilateral deals-two subjects which have been neglected by the International Relations literature.
