China’s global economic and political power has expanded. How will China use its new position to change the world? How does the country’s rise change its self-perception?

China’s global economic and political power has expanded. How will China use its new position to change the world? How does the country’s rise change its self-perception? Manjari Chatterjee Miller will discuss how China’s elites actively reframe the country’s image based on her book  Why Nations Rise: Narratives and the Path to Great Power (Oxford University Press 2021). Lina Benabdallah’s presentation  probes the type of power mechanisms that build, diffuse, and project China’s power in Africa. It draws on her book Shaping the future of power. Knowledge Production and Network Building in China-Africa Relations (University of Michigan Press 2020).
