研究実績の概要 |
This research project has made several significant achievements that contribute to the political economy literature on international currencies. In greater detail, I have conducted in-depth research on how foreign states have responded to the internationalization of the Chinese renminbi, thereby breaking new ground in studying the international politics of currency internationalization. I have developed the novel original theoretical concept of reactive currency statecraft for that analysis, and revealed that foreign states have deliberately utilized their policies related to renminbi internationalization as means of pursuing their own foreign policy goals associated with China. Furthermore, I have expanded this research project to address the political economy surrounding cryptocurrencies, while calling for greater engagement of international political economy scholarship in analyzing cryptocurrencies as money. This research on cryptocurrencies has explicated how theories of money can provide valuable theoretical insights for the international political economy study of cryptocurrencies as money, and has suggested how those insights can be incorporated into that research. These outcomes of this research project have been published as a book by Routledge, as a book chapter in an edited volume by Edward Elgar, and as a paper in Review of International Political Economy, a leading journal in international political economy. They have also been presented in multiple academic conferences.
