War by Other Means: Geoeconomics and Statecraft by Robert D. Blackwill and Jennifer M. Harris

Geo-economics was one among several ideational constructs postulated as the likely defining characteristic of international politics after the end of the Cold War. A neologism coined by Edward Luttwak, the construct was premised on ‘the waning importance of military power’ in the interactions among the core states of the international system, that is, those located in North America, West Europe, and East Asia.
