[Commlist] CfP: JCEA Special Winter 2021 Issue - Emerging Patterns of Asymmetric Interdependence in Asia-Pacific

*Call for Papers*

The Journal of Contemporary Eastern Asia (JCEA), a refereed biannual 
open access journal on East and Southeast Asia
is announcing a call for papers for a special Winter 2021 issue that 
discusses

*Emerging Patterns of Asymmetric Interdependence in Asia-Pacific*

Invited editor: Laura Parepa, Tsuda University, Japan 
((parepa.laura /at/ gmail.com) <mailto:(parepa.laura /at/ gmail.com)>)

More than half a century has passed since the first studies on the use 
of asymmetric interdependence as a tool of political leverage
in international relations. Despite the large number of works published 
so far, the focus of research remains relatively narrow and
limited mainly to trade and energy interdependence. The rapid spread of 
new technologies and communication systems,
the internationalization of business and the growing integration of 
capital and financial markets that we witness in the last decade
have created new domains in which asymmetric interdependence can arise. 
In the last few years, emerging scholarship has acknowledged
that states might develop and exploit in their partnerships new 
dimensions of asymmetric interdependence – such as technological, financial,
scientific, etc. – and can make use of expanding networks of 
interdependence to fulfill their geopolitical goals. However, such studies
exclusively address one of these dimensions only in the context of 
increasing competition between the United States and China.

This special issue of the JCEA seeks to address the current research 
gaps by focusing on emerging patterns of asymmetric
interdependence in Asia-Pacific. It invites contributions from various 
disciplinary fields that examine theoretical or empirical
dimensions of the asymmetric interdependence.

We are particularly interested in but not limited to:

      Patterns and mechanisms through which countries can develop and 
manipulate new dimensions of asymmetric interdependence –
monetary, capital, technological, scientific, etc. - in their bilateral 
relations.

     Emerging patterns and mechanisms through which countries expand 
their influence and control over networks of interdependence
in different domains (e.g. production and supply chains, monetary and 
capital flows, communication systems, etc.).

      Factors determining the ability of a country to increase its 
influence over or even monopolize networks of interdependence.
      Structural factors that can facilitate or constrain the use of 
new dimensions of asymmetric interdependence as political leverage.
      Similarities and differences between emerging patterns in Asian 
and Western contexts.

Please submit your *500-word* abstract (maximum) in English to 
(parepa.laura /at/ gmail.com) <mailto:(parepa.laura /at/ gmail.com)> by *1 February 2021*
