China has emerged as a major beneficiary of the post-Bretton Woods global order, which was founded upon the incremental liberalization of the global economy. As tensions rise between China and the US, as well as Europe, China’s role in the world is growing less clear. What are the political, economic, and social drivers of Chinese policymaking today and how is the Asian region responding to a US-centric security world while also navigating an often China-centric economic world? We explore these central questions through discussions and targeted research support for some of the world’s leading thinkers on such pressing issues.
