Practical information
Marking the publication of the Summer 2015 (No. 4) issue of the journal Horizons – Journal of International Relations and Sustainable Development with the dossier "The Return of China".
« Chinese socio-economic transformation has caused much domestic commotion. It has also been met with anxiety by some other centers of power, including those in China’s neighborhood. Beijing has sought to adress these issues by adopting a « new normal » growth model at home, whilst launching grand international initiatives such as the « One Belt, One Road » and the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank. The fate of these endeavours will decisively bear upon the strategic trajectory of Asia and beyond », in Horizons, n°4, 2015
