Economic interdependence creates leverage where trade routes, financial networks, technologies and legal authority converge. Geoeconomics and International Legal (Dis)Order examines how law shapes that leverage and how governments, regulators and firms respond when familiar channels of commerce become contested.

The chapters move from maritime chokepoints and Greenland's Arctic power struggle to economic coercion, China's party-led order, investment screening for chips and AI, and the supervision of crypto-assets. They examine payment systems and distributed ledgers, special economic zones, the human costs of corporate lawfare, the European Union's trade autonomy and research security in the AUKUS states.

Across these cases, the volume asks how legal rules distribute power, when institutions can reduce vulnerability, and how attempts to secure one actor may shift risks onto others. It brings international legal and policy analysis to scholars, policymakers, legal advisers and practitioners working on economic security and geoeconomics.
