Call for papers and workshop

Europe in US-China rivalry: The implications of great power politics

Selected papers will be invited to participate with the goal of preparing a special issue. We aim to bring together scholars from across social science disciplines to present work that builds theory, analyses new empirical findings, and draws out the policy and practical implications for Europe vis a vis great power rivalry in the contemporary global political economy. We particularly welcome contributions from underrepresented geographies and aim for a good balance of participants across different levels of seniority. The workshop is funded by the Vrije Universiteit Interdisciplinary Centre for European Studies (VICES) and the China in Europe Research Network (CHERN), inclusive of travel to and from Amsterdam and one-night’s accommodation for selected participants.

Deadline: 15th June 2023
