This panel examines the evolving role of China in global governance by exploring the interplay between its national strategies and international ambitions. As China grows increasingly influential within multilateral institutions, global economic systems, and normative frameworks, it presents both challenges and opportunities for the existing global order. Panelists will discuss how domestic governance models influence China’s international behavior, its approach to navigating and reforming global institutions, and its efforts to promote alternative visions of global cooperation. By analyzing both the national drivers and the global consequences of China’s engagement, the panel aims to provide a in-depth understanding of its impact on 21st-century global governance.
