China and the Future of International Peacebuilding (2019–2024)

Abstract:
This project aims to enhance understanding and evaluate the impact of China's expanding role in international peacebuilding. Over the past decade, China has gone from being virtually absent from international peacebuilding to assuming more proactive roles. This project will generate new data to assess China as an emerging peacebuilding actor, and offer the first systematic cross-regional analysis that evaluates the impact of China's new peacebuilding activism using case studies on Myanmar, Afghanistan and South Sudan. The expected outcome is stronger evidence-based policy analysis that can help policymakers and peacebuilding practitioners to respond to China's expanding peacebuilding presence in order support sustainable peace.
