Choosing the right Sidekick: economic complements to US military grand strategies / Kim, Dong Jung   Journal Article
Kim, Dong Jung Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Summary/Abstract Scholars and practitioners of grand strategy agree that the use of military force should be supplemented by appropriate economic policies. However, strangely few accounts of economic complements to military grand strategies have been presented in recent discourse on US grand strategy. This paper takes a first step to fill this information gap. I first assess the role that could be played by economic measures under two types of grand strategies – one focusing on the balance of power and the other emphasising influence and order. Second, I introduce what I call ‘the influence-capability dilemma’ and discuss tradeoffs in adopting certain economic policies in order to help the US sustain pre-eminence in the international system. Third, I discuss how the US should address this dilemma of economic means in dealing with the rising China.

Trading with the enemy? the futility of US commercial countermeasures against the Chinese challenge / Kim, Dong Jung   Journal Article
Kim, Dong Jung Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Summary/Abstract This paper examines whether the US is in a position to adopt restrictive commercial measures against China in order to complement military balancing. It focuses on the necessary condition for serious economic measures against an adversary: the state needs to be sure that it can effectively diminish the adversary's economic performance more than its own. This essay suggests that Washington cannot ascertain that this necessary condition is met in its relations with China. Thus, it might be better for the US to avoid restricting trade with China in any meaningful way, even though bilateral security rivalry intensifies.
