The Virtue of Bias? China’s Stakeholder Mediation in the Iran and North Korea Nuclear Crises
Why does China mediate differently across similar security crises? Challenging mediation theory’s neutrality assumption, this article conceptualises ‘stakeholder mediation’ as engagement by third parties whose security, economic, or reputational interests are exposed to a conflict’s outcome. Such mediators hold leverage but risk entrapment and reputational costs. Using a most-similar design, process tracing, diplomat memoirs, declassified documen…
Missions of Disillusionment: Everyday Narratives and Affective Politics among Chinese Peacekeepers
UN peacekeeping is routinely narrated through a cosmopolitan idiom of shared purpose, yet the lived experience of compound life often diverges sharply from that promise. Anchored in this tension, this article examines the social world of the compound and the affective texture of everyday peacekeeping. Drawing on biographical interviews and rare field access to Chinese contingents, it combines process tracing of recruitment, selection and training…
Revoicing the Silk Road: Everyday geopolitics and strategic remembering in the China–Pakistan borderlands
Connectivity projects have been analysed largely through geostrategies and state narratives, with insufficient attention to how they are inhabited in everyday life. In the China–Pakistan borderlands, the Belt and Road Initiative and the China–Pakistan Economic Corridor promise revived Silk Road connectivities, yet in Gilgit–Baltistan, the emergent border regime consolidates advantages for the Pakistani military-state and large private transport c…
What post-liberal peaces look like: China, Russia and fragmented conflict management in Myanmar
How is conflict management being reshaped in a multipolar world order? Drawing on within-case process tracing of Myanmar (2007–2025) and fieldwork between 2024 and 2026, this article examines how China and Russia intervene without converging on a model of post-liberal peace. Using multilingual official statements, UN records, borderland media and interviews, it reconstructs how external engagements reshape incentives and produce uneven outcomes. …
Convergence without coordination: East Asia’s developmental peace in the Middle East
How States Empathize? Arab Conflicts and the Making of China’s Global Emotional Order
Forum on Oliver Richmond’s The Grand Design: The Evolution of the International Peace Architecture
In this forum, seven scholars discuss Oliver P. Richmond’s The Grand Design: The Evolution of the International Peace Architecture , published in 2022. The editors, Gëzim Visoka and Annika Björkdahl, contextualise the book’s contribution within the broader intellectual framework of Richmond’s thoughts and writings on peace in the context of International Relations. Roland Bleiker examines the book’s main caveats and the outlook of international p…
Core microbiota play important roles in maintaining soil multi‐nutrient cycling in lakeshore wetland of plateau lake Caohai
Microorganisms play important roles in soil biogeochemical processes, but the relative contributions of different microbial members in soil nutrient cycling and community maintenance are unclear especially in wetland soils with water‐level fluctuation. Here, soil samples, collected from severe inundation zone (SIZ), wet–dry cycling zone (WIZ), and arid zone (NIZ) of the lakeshore wetland of plateau lake Caohai, were used to investigate the relati…
The Russian factor: Emotions, narratives and reshaping China's norms in international conflicts
How did Russia, despite being in a weaker position, exercise a continuous and resilient influence on China's normative approach to international conflicts from Syria to Ukraine? This article proposes a theoretical framework that connects the affective turn and norm studies in International Relations. It conceptualizes emotions as the affective infrastructure of norm scripts: shared political feelings create resonance, based on which persuasive na…
How Jihadists Travel: The Clandestine Migration of Chinese Transnational Fighters to Syria
This article explores the mobility infrastructure that enables and facilitates trans-national fighters traveling into conflict zones. The research on trans-national fighters focuses largely on the departure and arrival stages but rarely addresses how fighters arrange and execute their travel routes. The acts of border-crossing pose trans-national security threats while constituting the transformative processes in which individuals adapt to the id…
Eroded sovereignty or algorithmic nation Transnational diffusion of blockchain in governance
This paper explores the relationship between transnational non-state actors and sovereignty through the adoption of blockchain technology in governance. Governments have introduced a growing number of blockchain applications to reform state functions and authority mechanisms. Initial expectations for blockchain were to act as a disruptive and transformative force to decentralise state authority; however, this is only part of the real picture. The…

Geomorphometric Controls on Mountain Glacier Changes Since the Little Ice Age in the Eastern Tien Shan, Central Asia
The linkage between glacier change and climate has garnered significant attention in recent decades, but little is known about the role of local geomorphometric factors on glacier changes since the Little Ice Age (LIA), approximately 100 to 700 years ago. This study examines the spatial pattern of changes in glacier area in the eastern Tien Shan based on geomorphological mapping of LIA glacial extents and contemporary glaciers from the Second Gla…
Presumed Little Ice Age glacial extent in the eastern Tian Shan, China
Mountain glaciers across the Tian Shan provide critical freshwater resources for the arid and semi-arid areas in Central Asia. Glacial extent during the Little Ice Age (LIA) has been investigated in individual valleys, but its spatial characteristic across a large region still remains unclear. We delineated the presumed maximum LIA glacial extents in three study regions of the eastern Tian Shan (the Boro-Eren, the Bogeda, and the Barkol-Karlik ra…
