Governing AI in the military domain in a multi-order world
How can we understand the persistent fragmentation in efforts to establish a coherent intergovernmental framework for governing AI in the military domain? Drawing on Flockhart's concept of “visions of the good life”, this article identifies narratives of the good life that shape and animate the respective policies on AI governance in the military domain in the US and China. The article identifies three visions in the US: the Big Tech vision, the …

The Developmental Trajectories of Attentional Biases and Their Association With Internalising Symptoms in Children Transitioning Into Early Adolescence
Despite the developmental models proposed by Field and Lester, no studies have investigated the developmental trajectories of attentional biases and examined their association with internalising symptoms. The current study aimed to establish the developmental trajectories of self‐reported negative and positive attentional biases. Two hundred sixty four Chinese children, ranging in age from 9 to 10 years, were recruited from a primary school in Sh…
Navigating the In‐Between Space
As the global landscape of Artificial Intelligence (AI) governance rapidly evolves, research has increasingly moved beyond state‐centric perspectives to investigate the role of non‐state actors. This paper focuses on an underexplored category of such actors: think tanks, specifically two prominent Chinese institutions—the China Academy of Information and Communications Technology (CAICT) and the Centre for International Security and Strategy (CIS…
Ensuring the exercise of human agency in AI-based military systems
Over the past years, the number of governance initiatives on applications of artificial intelligence (AI) in the military domain has expanded. As actors across the governance landscape turn towards implementing these initiatives, principles will need to be spelled out in practical terms, marking a decisive phase in the governance process. This includes the exercise of human agency in the context of using AI-based systems in the military domain. T…
Norm Complexity and Contestation
The Protection of Civilians (POC) is an internationally institutionalized norm that has been applied as a core mandate in most UN peacekeeping operations. Given its relatively high level of institutionalization, openly contesting POC could carry high reputational costs for states. In this context, how can a state contest such a deeply entrenched norm to reshape it in alignment with its own normative beliefs, while simultaneously minimizing reputa…
The Role of Social Support and Positive Youth Development Attributes in Family Resilience Processes
Social support is widely assumed to foster adaptive family processes, yet its specific roles within parent-child dyads and the contribution of positive youth attributes remain insufficiently understood. Clarifying these pathways can inform supportive strategies and family resilience interventions. This cross-sectional study employed the actor-partner interdependence model (APIM) to address this research gap. Self-report questionnaires were comple…
Different fields, different appropriateness? Unpacking emerging normativity in China’s AI governance
How does a state initially form its stance on artificial intelligence (AI) governance before projecting it onto the international stage? Drawing on field theory, this article argues that such formation is both a pluralistic process – where diverse normativities, or understandings of appropriateness, emerge across intersecting yet distinct fields – and a dynamic one, shaped by competition among various actors seeking to influence the state’s overa…
Coping styles and the developmental trajectories of anxiety symptoms in children during transition into early adolescence
The study investigated how active and avoidant coping styles predicted the trajectory membership of anxiety symptoms during the transition into early adolescence. A total of 321 Chinese children aged 9 to 10 years were recruited from a primary school in mainland China. Self‐reported trait anxiety, coping styles and anxiety symptoms were assessed at baseline. After 6 months, self‐reported anxiety symptoms were measured at three follow‐up assessmen…
Prevention as a norm cluster? Mapping China's contestation on atrocity prevention
This article argues that China's rhetorical support for prevention at the United Nations obscures its underlying contestation of atrocity prevention in both conception and practice. It introduces a novel conceptual framework, coined as the two-level norm cluster of prevention, which includes three conceptually aligned yet distinct parts: operational conflict prevention, direct atrocity prevention and root-cause prevention. Drawing on interviews a…

The Moderation Effect of Cognitive Tendencies on the Relationship Between Fear of Covid-19 and Post-Traumatic Stress Symptoms in Chinese Children
Fear and anxiety about Covid‐19 among local and overseas Chinese university students
This study aimed to establish a new COVID-19 Fear (Higher Education) scale to investigate the relationship between fear and generalised anxiety symptoms among Chinese students in mainland China, Hong Kong, and other countries. 219 Chinese university students studying in universities in mainland China (n = 76, 34.7%), Hong Kong (n = 66, 30.1%), and overseas (i.e., outside of China as international students, n = 77, 35.2%) participated in an online…
