Elizabeth Economy (Hoover Institution), Shaun Breslin (University of Warwick)

Elizabeth Economy’s new book, The World According to China, is released at the end of October 2021 and tackles the question of how China plans to reshape the geopolitical landscape in new ways. With Xi Jinping’s vision of Chinese centrality on the global stage, what does China’s arrival as a superpower mean for the rest of the world?

Shaun Breslin will present his recent book China Risen? Studying Chinese Global Power. Drawing on Chinese-language debates and discussions, this book explains the roles of different actors and interests in Chinese international relations. How do these influence the nature of Chinese strategies for global change?

Amy Qin will share her expertise as a China correspondent for the New York Times to chair this seminar. She is in a unique position to point our attention to the most pressing issues in China’s current domestic and foreign policy.
