Description
A central feature of the trade disputes between the US and China has been China’s choice to build bargaining leverage by signalling restrictions in access to critical mineral supply chains and battery components. US and Europe have responded by further intensifying their efforts to diversify and build ‘resilience’ in supply. This panel takes stock of these efforts and highlights how the differing responses to China’s leverage offers insights into contemporary approaches to economic statecraft and the nature of economic power in the changing international system. The panel features presentations by scholars operating at the intersection between business and academia and draws on unique insights into evolving responses in both industry and policy making communities.
