Description
This panel examines a range of contemporary issues relating to regional and international order in Eurasia and Asia-Pacific. The five papers analyse and interrogate issues such as hybrid Sino-Turkic identities in Central Asia and their relevance to contemporary conceptualisations of China & Central Asia; the evolving organisational identity of the SCO, from regional to global; the role of memory anxieties in the context of Sino-Russian relations and its effect on status perceptions; diverging Sino-Russian narratives of global order, and finally a paper that sheds light on New Zealand's views of Russia's invasion of Ukraine in the Indo-Pacific security context.
