Differentiated Convergence
This article examines how the European Union (EU) engages with East Asian democracies – Japan, South Korea, Singapore and Taiwan – in shaping digital governance. Drawing on Héritier and Lehmkuhl's governance modes, it argues that the EU acts less as a rule exporter or orchestrator than as a norm facilitator, enabling forms of regulatory co‐ordination, mutual adjustment and selective co‐governance without formal authority. The analysis combines of…
China, Taiwan, the UK and the CPTPP
Selective engagement under exclusion
Taiwan engages with global sustainability frameworks through selective participation, outside UN-based institutions. This article explains why a politically limited yet economically central actor invests in Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) standards and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), and how functional participation creates opportunities for action without treaty-based participation. Using a dual-level approach, it combines …
From resolutions to action
This paper examines the increasing role of European parliamentary diplomacy (PD) in shaping EU foreign policy towards Taiwan amidst rising geopolitical tensions and recent corruption scandals. It analyses how PD, through mechanisms such as cross-loading, promotes the Europeanisation of EU foreign policy and member states’ positions regarding Taiwan. The study employs Claudio M. Radaelli’s Europeanisation framework to illustrate how PD contributes…
Constrained Agency and Symbolic Power
China’s impact on the European Union’s Arctic policy
Exploring Sino-Russian-Nordics triangular relations
The megatrends of climate change, China’s Belt and Road Initiative, and the Western sanctions against Russia have made the once calm Arctic an arena of geopolitical competition. Before the Crimea crisis of 2014, the Nordics were the primary advocates for a Chinese role in the Arctic when Russia was still hesitant. In 2017 Russia and China agreed to build a Polar Silk Road along the Northern Sea Route, which complements China’s 21st Century Mariti…
Adapting to the changing Arctic? The European Union, the Nordics, and the Barents Governance Mosaic
The Arctic region is significantly affected by rising temperatures and melting ice due to climate change, which provides immense economic opportunities for stakeholders within and outside the Arctic. China and Russia have already put themselves in a good position regarding these opportunities, while the European Union (EU) struggles to find its place in its Northern periphery. A decade ago, the European Commission issued its first policy paper on…
China’s Raw Materials Diplomacy and Governance Cycle
China’s raw materials diplomacy and unregulated purchasing of minerals in Africa and Latin America, as well as its domestic raw materials export quota, have for years been eyed with suspicion by state and private actors. Industrialized countries want to uphold and extend free market access to raw materials, but also strengthen their political accountability and sustainability. However, critics argue that in contrast, China, the world’s largest me…
From a weak letter of intent to prevalence
In 2003, the global toy industry started a new attempt to implement common standards on working conditions in the notorious ‘sweatshop‐factories’ especially in China, where up to three million people from rural provinces produce toys for Western brand name companies. This article explores, why and how the common industry code of conduct (CoC) of the International Council of the Toy Industries (ICTI) gathered momentum and who will benefit from thi…
