Economic and Political Studies: Special Issue Call for Papers

2018-10-15 IMI
Deadline: 31 December 2018 Economic and Political Studies (EPS), an ESCI and Scopus listed journal hosted by Renmin University of China and published by Taylor & Francis Group, is calling for papers for a special issue on “Sino-US Trade War”. After Trump took office in 2019, the US pulled out of the re-negotiation of NAFTA and the Trans-Pacific Partnership Agreement. The year 2018 began with a new series of trade conflicts between the US and its trading partners, especially with China. In the middle of 2018, the US and China have embarked upon a full-scale trade war. The looming trade war between the two countries and other changes in US policy on China may have unexpected impacts on the Sino-US relations. The series of tariffs imposed by the world’s two biggest economies will also affect the global economy. Economic and Political Studies now invites contributions to a new special issue on “Sino-US Trade War”. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
  • Economic costs and benefits of trade war to both the US and China
  • Will China become another Japan?
  • The real trade deficit of the US against China
  • The relationship between the US mid-term election and trade war
  • The US negotiation strategy of trade agreements
  • Possibility of the escalation from a trade war to a hot war
  • Political and economic effects on both domestic and foreign policy
  • The effectiveness of trade barriers
  • The Future of WTO
