  • China's Rise As a Geoeconomic Influencer: Four European
    ASIA PROGRAM CHINA’S RISE AS A GEOECONOMIC INFLUENCER: FOUR EUROPEAN CASE STUDIES BY PHILIPPE LE CORRE NON-RESIDENT SENIOR FELLOW IN THE EUROPE AND ASIA PROGRAMS, CARNEGIE ENDOWMENT FOR INTERNATIONAL PEACE NOVEMBER 2018 ASIA FOCUS #93 ASIA FOCUS #93 – ASIA PROGRAM / November 2018 ver the past decade, China has become central to the world economy. Building on its economic successes, it is becoming increasingly central in world politics. O China is also now more ambitious, aiming to establish itself as a regional as well as a global power. In his October 2017 report to the Chinese Communist Party’s 19th Congress, President Xi Jinping stated that by 2050, China will have “become a global leader in terms of composite national strength and international influence.”1 Despite a growing internal debate about the country’s international positioning in the context of taking a confrontational tone with the United States, Xi believes he has the power to realize these ambitions. In June 2018, he chaired an important foreign policy meeting in Beijing, which reaffirmed the notions of a foreign policy with Chinese characteristics,2 “diplomacy of socialism with Chinese characteristics,”3 and redefined the concept of a “global community of common destiny.”4 China’s rise has been driven by economic development, starting with the launch almost exactly forty years ago of Deng Xiaoping’s Open-Door policy, which made China the economicOn the world powerhouse stage, China it is hastoday―not become just a strong domestically, player in but such in mostinstitutions parts of as the the world.

  • China's Economic Footprint in the Western Balkans
    Jacob Mardell ASIA POLICY BRIEF China's Economic Footprint in the Western Balkans Geopolitics has returned to vogue, and the EU does not enjoy a monopoly on inuence in the Western Balkans. China is the latest player on the scene, and although its economic footprint is still relatively small, Beijing’s growing presence is a new reality that Brussels needs to contend with. China’s “no-strings attached” nancing of infrastructure potentially undermines the EU’s reform-orientated approach. Relevance Bertelsmann Stiftung Focus Bertelsmann Stiftung Forecast Bertelsmann Stiftung Information Bertelsmann Stiftung Options Bertelsmann Stiftung About the author Jacob Mardell is a freelance researcher and journalist who has recently travelled Eurasia exploring China’s Belt and Road Initiative. He is writing a series of articles, "On the New Silk Road,". Since March, he has traveled overland from the UK to Beijing. Over the next ve months he will be travelling in Southeast Asia, returning to Europe over sea, via Djibouti and Ethiopia. Beijing’s approach China’s economic presence in the Western Balkans Six (WB6) countries of Albania, Bosnia & Herzegovina, Kosovo, Montenegro, North Macedonia, and Serbia is framed in terms of the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI), a foreign policy slogan and development concept announced by Xi Jinping in 2013. Although China maintained active diplomatic relations with Yugoslavia during the 1980s and 1990s and vocally opposed the NATO bombing of Serbia and Montenegro in the late 1990s, economic outreach in the countries of former Yugoslavia only truly began (with Serbia) in the second decade of the 21st Century. Beijing’s relationship with Albania – not part of former Yugoslavia – was very close until the Sino-Albanian split of the 1970s, but this historical curiosity has little bearing on contemporary Sino-Albanian relations.

This year’s journal aims to capture a year unlike any other, through the rich and varied disciplines encompassed within American Studies: literature, cinema, geography, political science, history, and beyond. So quickly did our quotidian life become a luxury. What riches were our former meetings — exchanges in classrooms, conversations in coffee shops and spontaneous encounters. We live in perpetual grief for a way of life that has been so sharply uprooted, while yet navigating the trials and tribulations of school, home, work, friendships and relationships, all through the bright, glowing, torturous screens of our devices. And yet we pay heed to this: it is no small matter that it is these very networks which opened the world to those for whom the previous quotidian was at best, a hindrance, and at worst, entirely inaccessible. For some, an uprooting made way for accessible connection. What does it mean to be uprooted? At first, ‘uprooting’ seems innocent, evocative of the garden, and the ancient habits of humanity. But it's worth asking, before you have uprooted anything: what lies beneath those vines? Once the dig is underway, you may know more, but only incrementally.

Although Merrills' analysis provides insights throughout the book, his keen analysis of relevant Court decisions in this chapter eclipses the complexity of the subjects discussed therein. In the final chapters of the book, Merrills shifts his focus from a micro study of the Court itself to the broader concepts of democratic values, general principles of law, international law, and ideology as they relate to human rights in the European Court of Human Rights. Here, Merrills debates the competing ideologies of judicial restraint and activism. After much analysis, he concludes that the Court has generally adopted an activist approach towards the Convention, based on his observation that statements of judicial ideology typically found in dissenting judgments articulate the case for restraint. He then de- bates the differences between tough conservatism and benevolent liber- alism before concluding that both surface intermittently in the Europe- an Court of Human Rights.
