Exploring the Security Dimension of Sino-US Trade Asymmetry. Implications for the International Trade System

Abstract

Examining the Sino-US relationship in the context of economic interdependence from a nuanced realist perspective does not place economics and finance in a subordinate role in the field of national security. Nor does it argue for support of an American-dominated liberal system of trade. Instead, it argues the trade relationship has created a less secure environment for both states, with the United States suffering the greater vulnerability. The question then becomes how can we better understand the implications of the "Chimerica" relationship upon security and the current trade system?
