The Political Economy of Geoeconomic Power
We have prepared a new paper for the 2025 AEA Papers and Proceedings, “The Political Economy of Geoeconomic Power.” Great powers are increasingly using their economic and financial strength for geopolitical aims. This rise of "geoeconomics" has the potential to reshape the international trade and financial system. This paper examines the role of domestic political economy forces in determining a government's ability to project geoeconomic power abroad. We also discuss the role that persuading or coercing foreign governments plays in projecting geoeconomic power around the world.
