China in Europe: Actors, Institutions, and Modes of Influence

Abstract

This panel seeks to boost our understanding of the political influence of China’s rise in Europe. China’s rise is a global issue, but this proposed workshop narrows its focus on China’s influence in Europe’s politics. The regional focus is meant to foster integration of research by scholars with different research areas and common interest in the political and geographical space of Europe. Given the diversity of China’s foreign policy initiatives and actors, we understand ‘European politics’ very broadly to include not only European Union politics, but also the domestic politics of European states, regional or sub-regional politics, political communication and media, foreign and security policy, gender, cultural politics, and contentious politics. The broad approach is meant to capture the multidimensional influence that we expect the rise of China to have on European societies.
