Description
Over the past ten years, China has been advocating alternative concepts of global governance, emphasizing a shift where various powers play leading roles and the dominance of the US-led West is diminished. Given recent developments, including the conflict in Ukraine and escalating global power rivalries, notably between Washington and Beijing, it becomes imperative to examine the China’s evolving role on the world stage. In this context, the panel seeks to engage in the broader discourse on how the EU and its member states have reacted to an increasingly vocal Chinese call to transform global governance, promoting principles such as non interference and respect of sovereignty. Consequently, the objective is to scrutinize and discuss China's expanding influence in diverse regional contexts and evaluate the dynamics of its interactions with the EU and its members states.
The panel is composed by Italian scholars who are members of the Italian Standing Group on International Relations (SGRI) and seek to provide a specific Italian and European perspective on these issues.
