Summary/Abstract |
Purpose-Discuss the potential of non-state centric economic cooperation.
Design/methodology/approach-Traditional engagement policies vis-Ã -vis North Korea have been state-centric, reciprocity-driven and ultimately, unsuccessful. This article proposes the promotion of sustainable, good-faith and meaningful economic exchanges by enrolling the active participation of North Korean elites through alignment with their vested interests.
Findings-Although controversial and even abhorrent from a normative perspective, the approach is eminently pragmatic and necessary to address the limited policy alternatives of an increasingly insecure regime which may eventually be forced to pursue drastic means to ensure its survival.
Practical implications-Non-state-centric international economic engagement is a non-exclusive policy prescription that seeks to broaden the range of viable policy options available to the North Korean regime.

Summary/Abstract |
Why did the leaders of four very different countries-Brazil, Russia, India, and China-decide to hold a summit in 2009 in Yekaterinburg, thus transforming "the BRICs" from a financial category into a political grouping? I argue that the main driver for the first summit to take place and succeed was to strengthen each member country's international status. The 2009 BRICs summit was successful in that it led to the birth of a political platform during highly unusual international economic and political circumstances. In a global economy in the midst of a recession and widespread uncertainty, the BRICs' relative economic stability and capacity to respond to the crisis was decisive and lent credibility to their call for reform of the international system. The United States' temporarily reduced legitimacy also provided a window of opportunity for emerging powers to act as aspiring guarantors of stability in tomorrow's world. While measureable gains from cooperation and stronger rhetoric that delegitimized the global order did occur in the following years, they were not the primary drivers for the first summit to take place and succeed.

Summary/Abstract |
Over the last 10 years, economic issues related to currency policy have become the major ongoing dispute between China and the United States. Specifically, the US Congress has demanded a tougher policy to avert the negative consequences of "unfair" Chinese policies-in the form of a "manipulated currency"-for the US economy. Building on an analytical framework of discourse theory (DT)-and proposing a method for applying DT in empirical research-an investigation into congressional debates on the Chinese currency shows that the question is not a purely economic one, but rather that it reflects a dislocation of US identity as the vanguard of liberal-democratic capitalism. This dislocation involves changes to how "liberal" identity in the US Congress is articulated in relation to the role attributed to "illiberal" China, which in turn affects the formulation of US China policy in Congress.

Summary/Abstract |
The global maritime sector could have done without the year 2009. Such is the view of those associated with the business of shipping. I and many other analysts had forecast considerable chaos last year, and the markets lived up to that sad prediction, especially in container shipping and car carriers, two sectors that cater primarily to the transportation of manufactured goods. Shipping journals were rife with stories of bankruptcies and buyouts, some of which were true, others wild speculation. The carriers in deepest trouble included revered names such as Hapag-Lloyd, CMA CGM, and Zim - even DP World, the parent company of Dubai Ports, the global-terminal operator that during the past decade grew meteorically.
