商品描述
The rules-based international economic order is undergoing profound transformation. Geopolitical risk and geoeconomic strategy are no longer external shocks to a stable system; they now shape the core of international economic law (IEL), influencing trade regulation, investment protection, digital governance, and supply-chain design. Tariffs, sanctions, investment screening, data controls, and security-driven regulation have become structural features of the global economy. This edited volume originates from the 9th Asian International Economic Law Network (AIELN) Conference, held in Tokyo in June 2025 under the theme "Geopolitical Risks and Geoeconomics in International Economic Law: Asian Perspectives and Beyond." It brings together scholars, practitioners, and policymakers to examine how IEL is responding to persistent geopolitical uncertainty and regulatory risk. The chapters analyze how legal frameworks allocate the costs of geopolitical and regulatory risk, whether the liberal trading system is fragmenting into regional or minilateral arrangements, and how security, resilience, and sustainability are reshaping market access and investment governance. A central question is whether international economic law can adapt to these pressures without abandoning rule-based multilateralism. Placing Asia at the center of the analysis, the volume explores whether Asian states can move beyond being objects of great-power strategies and instead act as norm entrepreneurs shaping the future of international economic law.
商品描述(中文翻譯)
基於規則的國際經濟秩序正經歷深刻的轉變。地緣政治風險和地緣經濟策略不再是穩定系統的外部衝擊;它們現在塑造了國際經濟法(IEL)的核心,影響貿易規範、投資保護、數位治理和供應鏈設計。關稅、制裁、投資審查、數據控制和以安全為驅動的規範已成為全球經濟的結構性特徵。
本編輯卷的內容源自於2025年6月在東京舉行的第九屆亞洲國際經濟法網絡(AIELN)會議,主題為「國際經濟法中的地緣政治風險與地緣經濟學:亞洲視角及其超越」。本書匯集了學者、實務者和政策制定者,探討國際經濟法如何應對持續的地緣政治不確定性和監管風險。
各章節分析法律框架如何分配地緣政治和監管風險的成本,自由貿易體系是否正在分裂為區域或小型多邊安排,以及安全性、韌性和可持續性如何重塑市場准入和投資治理。一個核心問題是國際經濟法是否能在不放棄基於規則的多邊主義的情況下適應這些壓力。
本書將亞洲置於分析的中心,探討亞洲國家是否能超越成為大國策略的對象,而轉而作為規範創業者,塑造國際經濟法的未來。
