Abstract
We develop a co-evolutionary decoupling model to explain the decoupling process and its contributors, based on a Chinese bank's dynamic interdependency with the US-led global financial system. This decoupling is the joint outcome of the firm's strategic adaptations in response to economic, institutional, and geopolitical environmental challenges. By incorporating co-evolution and international relations perspectives into international business research, we reveal how and when non-economic environmental factors can decisively hinder a firm's, especially an EMNE's, internationalisation. This study provides new firm-level evidence on the ongoing Sino-US decoupling process, extending our understanding of international business through co-evolution and international relations perspectives.
