Understanding and contextualizing China

Marina Rudyak examines how China defines its role in the world and how concepts of order and power are translated into concrete global policy. The focus is on the phenomenon of “Global China”: the strategies, tools, and narratives through which the country is expanding its political and ideological influence.

In doing so, she analyzes China’s development cooperation and relations with the Global South, as well as the political language, strategic narratives, and international discourse systems of the Communist Party of China.
