"Scientific collaboration amid geopolitical tensions: Global variation in responses to China engagement" by CWP alum Andrew Chubb
A global rules-based order is in flux amid intensifying United States (US)-China geopolitical competition for economic and technological advantage. Concerns about the economic and security risks of dependency on China increasingly shape economic and political decision-making in the West. This paper looks at various national responses to the rise of China in the sphere of scientific collaboration and the underlying factors to their variation. While there are an emerging field related to studies of responses to Chinese research collaboration, there is yet to be a cross-national comparative examination to describe how global science is being affected by geopolitical competition, the responses taken by nations and what explains the patterns of variation. This paper will fill this gap in the literature.
