Containing China
摘要
The previous chapters presented selected case evidence to exemplify each corporate archetype. This chapter and the next take a more dynamic and integrative lens, focusing on the evolving rivalry between strategic U.S. and Chinese corporations. It examines how great power rivalries drive processes of archetype hybridization, both within corporations and at the collective level. Corporations start off espousing one strategic archetype. Evolving grand strategy priorities and opportunities can conduce them to reinterpret archetypes. For instance, heightening great power rivalry can lead to greater use of industrial policy, export controls and tariffs, prompting techno-utopian corporations to integrate semi-mercantilist traits.
