A meteoric strategic partnership? The still long march of mutual understanding and trust between China and the Czech Republic
China's Normative Power in Central and Eastern Europe
Normative power China (NPC) has characteristics distinct from Manners’ conception of normative power Europe (NPE). While NPE attempts to establish rules for interaction, NPC introduces practices to be co-constituted via regional platforms through a process of ‘earned recognition’. In Central and Eastern Europe (CEE), NPC’s regionalising ‘group cooperation diplomacy’ has taken the form of the ‘16/17 + 1’ cooperation framework. Using normative powe…
China’s ‘do-as-I-do’ paradigm
China's influence in the global South has both material and ideational aspects.In the era of the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI), material aspects include trade in goods, infrastructure-building, and imports of raw materials and energy.Ideational aspects include political influence and attempts to diffuse Chinese norms, some of which differ from those enshrined in the so-called 'liberal international order' .This paper posits that China's norm dif…
China’s Ideational Influence in Central and Eastern Europe (CEE)
Chinese and European scholarly debates on China’s relations with Central and Eastern Europe (CEE) have steadily heated up since the introduction of the 16/17 + 1 cooperation mechanism in 2012. However, they have tended to take place in discrete linguistic and academic bubbles. This article has three aims: first, to introduce Chinese scholarly debates on China-CEE cooperation to an Anglophone readership; second, to conduct a critical assessment of…
China’s “Belt and Road” Economic Diplomacy in the Persian Gulf
Drawing on the literature on strategic hedging and adapting it to China’s use of economic diplomacy in the service of comprehensive national security goals within the regionalised foreign policy approach of the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI), we examine China’s approach to securing and expanding its interests in the Persian Gulf. To implement the trade and infrastructure connectivity goals of the BRI and to secure the continued flow of diversifie…
The Belt and Road Initiative and the Eurasian Economic Union
The Russian-led Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU) is a key partner in China’s Belt, and Road Initiative (BRI), since it comprises the majority of territories which the BRI’s overland route, the Silk Road Economic Belt, needs to traverse as it crosses Central Asia on the way to Europe. The goal of this article is to explore the BRI in the context of BRI–EAEU coordination. The first part of the analysis focusses on the ways the Eurasian Economic Commi…
The Regional Impacts of China’s Belt and Road Initiative
The dragon dithers
In the Belt and Road era, one would expect an increase in the amount of Chinese economic engagement with Iran due to its strategic position on the Persian Gulf and its rich oil reserves. Yet by 2020 a committed program of large-scale investment comparable to the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) had not materialized in Iran. The article uses an analytically eclectic framework to examine the record of Chinese economic activity in Iran since …
The Impact of China’s Belt and Road Initiative
"This book merges macro- and micro-level analysis of the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) to dissect China's aim in creating an integrated Eurasian continent through this single mega-project"
China’s Economic Diplomacy in Central and Eastern Europe
Since China launched the 16 + 1 forum for meetings with Central and Eastern European (CEE) countries in 2012, European observers have struggled to understand the Chinese approach. In contrast to its oft-repeated claim of ‘win–win’ cooperation, some believe China is pursuing an assertive strategy of ‘divide and conquer’ designed to benefit China at Europe’s expense. China’s economic diplomacy in CEE is examined through the critical lens of Holslag…
Deconstructing the China–Pakistan Economic Corridor
Intense interest in the China–Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) was stimulated when US$46 billion of investment agreements were signed in April 2015, a sum which two years later increased to US$62 billion. A major focus of CPEC is on developing overland transportation and pipeline links from the port of Gwadar to the Chinese province of Xinjiang as a land-based alternative to the maritime ‘chokepoint’ of the Straits of Malacca. This article asses…
Explaining Xi Jinping’s China, in Three Volumes
An Elusive Synergy
In 2012, China and the European Union (EU) issued a joint declaration on energy security. It is unclear, however, what progress has been made since then in terms of applying the goals of the declaration. This paper sets out to assess the present state of China and the EU’s energy security, the potential for future cooperation, and the obstacles which stand in the way. The analysis assesses the extent to which the two actors can work together on i…
If You Can’t Beat ’em, Join ’em
China’s ‘One Belt, One Road’ (OBOR) initiative is a grand plan to connect Asia, Europe and East Africa economically. However, from India’s point of view, China’s attempt at what it describes as geo-economic expansion appears as a geopolitical threat because of China’s activity in the Indian Ocean Region (IOR). This essay assesses the extent to which OBOR is (i) realistic and achievable, (ii) a genuine threat to India and (iii) amenable to possibl…

Not So Simple
China’s rise to the status of a global power is a very complex phenomenon. Yet students of international relations (IR) are taught that a good theory should be ‘parsimonious’, meaning that it should explain a lot with a little. In relation to China’s rise, the problem with theoretical parsimony may be not what it includes but what it leaves out. This article argues that lack of explanatory breadth and depth in connection with China’s IRs demonstr…
