China today is widely acknowledged as a global norm maker, an influence that is unprecedented yet undertheorized in light of the paradigmatic status of Euro-American norms and orders. What do Chinese global orders look like, where are they constituted, and from whose perspective?
Our multidisciplinary team leverages local knowledge, traces global connections, and analyses empirical data, visual representations, and textual evidence to articulate new conceptualizations of global order centred on this longstanding major actor.
By viewing China not as a homogenous ‘other,’ but as a differentiated site of cultural, economic, philosophical and aesthetic entanglements across Asia, Africa, Latin America, and Europe, we reconstitute the place and content of global orders—past, present, and future. We move conversations beyond unhelpful East-West binaries to recognize Chinese global order as a diverse set of imaginaries, that are always in the process of formation and subject to challenge at both local and global levels.
