讲座内容/ Abstract:

In our era of turbulence, debates about the future of international order dominate much scholarship and popular commentary. It is against this backdrop that the notion of co-constitution is deployed to unpack how international ordering processes, entangling “the West” and parts of the “non-West”, have evolved and – importantly – have been co-shaped. This paper focuses particularly on China’s co-constitutive role in the evolution of the post-1945 order via an empirical examination of three core thematic areas.  Dividing the period since 1945 into three time segments, co-constitution in the first period – from the 1940s to the 1990s – outlines China’s counter-hegemonic challenge. In the period subsequent to that, during which China reassesses not only its threat environment but also the implications of its increases in relative material power amid growing confidence in its own politico-economic model, co-constitution operates through both counter-hegemony as well as via the adoption of a deeper anti-liberal challenge. Finally, the concluding section considers a potential future scenario – co-constitution 3.0 – without the West, in its various conceptions, as key referent in the evolving international order.
