How disruptive is the rise of China to the global order? Is China acting as a disruptor, a systematic stabilizer, or global governance innovator? This talk addresses these questions through a focus on global economic and environmental governance.

China globeAt a time of new global systemic risks and demands, fundamental power shift, and global institutional erosion, China’s actual global behaviour exhibits a high degree of diversity. Yves Tiberghien will map out this behavior across domains and argue that China’s behaviour in any particular global governance arena is driven both a process of learning and a strategic dynamic of exit and voice. China has gradually accepted that the continuation of its domestic modernization (the China Dream) requires investment in the global system. Yet, China’s investment in the global system follows a highly interactive negotiated process with other systemic powers. The talk focuses on five contrast cases: G20, Paris Agreement on climate change, Belt and Road Initiative, and development financing (AAIB) and trade.

Chaired by Thomas Hale, Associate Professor in Public Policy.
