Summary/Abstract |
Geo-economics may be defined in two different ways: as the relationship between economic policy and changes in national power and geopolitics (in other words, the geopolitical consequences of economic phenomena); or as the economic consequences of trends in geopolitics and national power. Both the notion that 'trade follows the flag' (that the projection of national power has economic consequences) and that 'the flag follows trade' (that there are geopolitical consequences of essentially economic phenomena) point to the subject matter of geo-economics.
