Despite its relative stability since the end of World War II, the international system today is confronting multiple mounting challenges, such as climate change, the return of mercantilist policies, and a re-intensification of great power competition.
The CSCC “Global China” research cluster examines China’s potential and actual role in this changing landscape, such as its continued engagement with the Global South, leadership in the green energy transition, growing diplomatic reach, and stewardship of the current global governance infrastructure.
