題名: | China and Its Neighbors: Asymmetrical Economies and Vulnerability to Coercion | 作者: | KIM, SUNG CHULL | 貢獻者: | Issues & Studies | 關鍵詞: | Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) ; asymmetry-coercion linkage ; vulnerability to coercion ; trade concentration ; non-transparency ; bilateral aid | 日期: | Dec-2019 | 上傳時間: | 16-Nov-2020 | 摘要: | With respect to China and its neighbors, what are the political implications when a great power advances economically into small states? This paper presents an asymmetry-coercion linkage to explain the relationship between a great power and small states by reconceptualizing Albert Hirschman`s theory of trade dependency. This reconceptualization involves two tasks. First, the paper explicates vulnerability to coercion as a consequence of economic asymmetry, whereby a small state becomes susceptible to a great power`s compellence or co-optation to take a certain path preferred by the latter. Second, in demonstrating and measuring vulnerability to coercion, the paper accounts for the three factors: trade concentration, non-transparency, and reliance on bilateral aid. The combined effect of these three factors is that among the six countries under investigation, Cambodia and North Korea are extremely vulnerable to China`s coercion, while Vietnam is the least vulnerable state. | 關聯: | Issues & Studies, 55-4, p1 - 25-001 | 資料類型: | article | DOI: | https://doi.org/10.1142/S1013251119500073 |
