From 'Japan Problem' to 'China Threat'?: Rising Powers in US Economic Discourse: Global Political Sociology

Autor Nicola Nymalm
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 17 iul 2021
This book has four main objectives: to bring the thus far almost entirely neglected historical case of ‘the rise of Japan’ into the literature on power shifts in general and ‘the rise of China’ in particular; to propose a discourse-based conceptualization of identity for the study of economic policy that engages theoretical and methodological debates on how to overcome the dichotomy between ‘ideational’ (identity) and ‘material’ (economic) factors; to address the tendency to focus on the ‘radical Other’ in poststructuralist IR scholarship, by highlighting how heterogeneity disturbs exclusive and binary articulations of identity and difference; and to propose a method for putting political discourse theory (PDT) into practice in empirical research by drawing on rhetorical political analysis (RPA). US congressional debates on economic policy on Japan and China in 1985–2008 are analysed as examples of official US elite public discourse. The book shows that the ‘new era’ in US-Chinese relations that scholars and policymakers have been announcing since the beginning of the Trump presidency was long in the making, as it rests on longstanding discourses on the USA’s main economic competitor.

Caracteristici

Elevates the historically neglected 'rise of Japan' to scholarly discourse on 'the rise of China' and on power shifts Promotes a conceptualization of identity that challenges the dichotomy of 'ideational' (identity) and 'material' (economic) factors Proposes that rhetorical political analysis (RPA) can be used to implement political discourse theory (PDT) in empirical research
