Book Launch
The Dragon's Emerging Order: Sino-centric Multilateralism and Global Responses

This book discusses how China is moving from participant to architect in global governance through finance, standards, security dialogues, and South–South forums. Join us for an engaging launch that brings the book’s big ideas to life: why Sino‑centric multilateralism has taken root, how it actually works, and how governments, regions, and institutions are adapting, accommodating, hedging, or contesting.

Expect a clear and accessible discussion, audience Q&A, and a chance to connect with the book editor, co-authors, and practitioners across IR, strategic studies, and policy. Whether you’re curious about the future of the liberal order or the vantage points of the Global South, this session will give you the frameworks to understand what’s changing and what might come next.
