Globalization, Deglobalization, and the US-China Competition: The Balance between Geopolitics and Geoeconomics

Abstract

This article examines how the globalization and deglobalization processes have affected great power politics in general and the US-China strategic competition in particular. It argues that the post-Cold War globalization process has resulted in the relative rise of geoeconomics vis-à-vis geopolitics in great power politics, and that the deglobalization process after the 2008 global crisis has further reinforced this trend. The article accepts that geopolitical power competition continues to be relevant in great power politics. However, it remains limited to specific regional contexts. Currently, the Asia-Pacific region represents one of the most critical geopolitical fault lines which harbors the risk of growing military tensions and crises between the US and China. Such crises would likely jeopardize Beijing’s ‘peaceful rise’ strategy pursued by geoeconomic means. The article concludes that economic globalization alone does not necessarily bring less conflictual, more stable, and rule-based great power relations, which defies the neoliberal expectations of the early post-Cold War era.
