Does tourism diplomacy campaigns promote inbound tourism? Evidence based on quasi-natural experiments
In recent years, the Chinese government has been conducting Tourism Year campaigns. This study aims at conceptualizing and evaluating the effects of these Diplomacy campaigns on China’s inbound tourism. Methodologically, we treat the Tourism Year campaigns as a quasi-natural experiment, and draw on the Propensity Score Matching and the multi-phase Difference-in-Differences regression approach (PSM-DID) to investigate the relation between policies…
Rethinking UN peace and security engagements in a changing world
World politics is changing. The post-Cold War unipolar system is being replaced by a multipolar world order that is characterized by increased geopolitical competition and contestation of the liberal international order. Authored by a combination of International Relations and peace scholars, policy-makers, and practitioners, this policy paper identifies four main processes through which this shifting context influences United Nations peace opera…

The Peacebuilders Playground: Peacebuilding Practices in Timor-Leste
This paper explores whether the practices enacted by China and Japan in Timor-Leste indicate a challenge to the liberal peacebuilding paradigm with an alternative model. Examining Timor-Leste, which was hailed as a model of liberal peacebuilding in the early 2000s but is now facing significant challenges to the peacebuilding and state-building project, and is captured by the global challenges to the peacebuilding field, this paper argues that Chi…
(Re)Setting the boundaries of peacebuilding in a changing global order
The liberal peace(building) paradigm faces compound challenges, from the erosion of the liberal international order and growing great power involvement in civil wars to the emergence of alternative actors in global peace processes. These macro-trends present an epistemic dilemma in (re)defining the contours of peacebuilding. The conventional (liberal) conceptualization of peacebuilding is too restrictive, neglecting alternative practices that are…
Two sides of the same coin? Cross-linguistic sentiment comparison and thematic discovery of reader’s reception of Wolf Totem
Despite growing attention to the global dissemination of cross-cultural literature, rigorous research on cross-linguistic sentiment analysis remains limited, especially for works like Wolf Totem, which hold both worldwide reach and cultural depth. This study conducted a cross-language sentiment and thematic analysis of online book reviews by Chinese and English readers, utilizing advanced linguistic techniques such as BERT, MAXQDA, and ProtAnt. T…
Transformation of the artistic form and ideological content of the memorial complex in memory of the Sino-Japanese War in Beijing
The article is devoted to the problem of transformation of the imagery of the monumental sculpture ensemble created in memory of the Sino-Japanese War in Beijing. The construction of the memorial took place in two stages: the Memorial of the Chinese People's War of Resistance to Japanese Aggression was erected in the late 1980s, and a decade later the Sculpture Garden of the Memorial of the Chinese People against the Japanese War was laid. These …
Pathways to socialisation: China, Russia, and competitive norm socialisation in a changing global order
This article problematises the status quo bias in IR socialisation research, and develops an alternative concept of competitive socialisation, through which subaltern actors internalise dominant norms, enhance their competitive edge, and enact more equalised power relations in global politics. The dominant strand of IR socialisation research mostly conceives of socialisation as a status-quo-oriented practice that reinforces the existing power hie…
The Chinese approach to peacebuilding: Contesting liberal peace
The rise of China in peacebuilding has invoked lively debate about its role vis-à-vis the dominant peacebuilding order, or liberal peace. Extant research revolves around the binary construct of challenger-versus-supporter, ignoring the nature and scope of challenges that China poses to liberal peace. Also, these studies tend to unidimensionally examine China’s stance on particular elements of liberal peace. There is scant research assessing China…
Norm Contestation and Normative Transformation in Global Peacebuilding Order(s): The Cases of China, Japan, and Russia
Focusing on the disconnect between mainstream “liberal” peacebuilding and the discourses and practices of “new” and “alternative” peacebuilding actors, this article develops a nonbinary approach that goes beyond norm localization to capture the ways in which major powers influence the nature, content, and direction of normative change. Within the context of their bilateral and multilateral contributions to the “global peacebuilding order,” what f…
Does air pollution decrease inbound tourist arrivals? The case of Beijing
Tourism industry might be affected by pollution, discouraging current tourism and damaging destination’s image, which compromises future arrivals. This paper quantifies the impact of air pollution on inbound tourism analyzing the case of Beijing city, China. Applying a standard tourism demand function, short-run and long-run impacts are explored in a VECM framework. Results show that air pollution had negative effects on tourist arrivals in the l…
