Aim & Background

President Xi Jinping has affirmed an ambitious agenda for China's engagement in global governance: it will 'take an active part in reforming and developing' global governance, increase developing countries 'voice' and 'representation' as well as contributing 'Chinese wisdom and strength'. This course investigates China's evolving engagement with global governance in the context both of Beijing's global strategy, which is predicated on national rejuvenation and a vision of 'community of shared future for mankind', and an evolving 'post-American' global order. The first part of the course will be dedicated to establishing conceptual foundations concerning global governance, the historical trajectory of Beijing's comparatively recent engagement and the institutional makeup of China's Party-state. Connecting China's official global governance rhetoric with actual conduct, the second part of the course will examine China's role in themed global policy domain, such as development, security, human rights, cyberspace, and climate change. Finally, it will consider the prospects for China's engagement going forward amid a domestic economic slowdown, geoeconomic fragmentation, and intensifying strategic competition with the US.Part of the Governance specialization for MAPP and MPAPart of both the Policy track courses for MAIPA
