Narrating China and Europe in Uncertain Times

‌

Within WG 4, CHERN members and other colleagues from the CHERN community collaborated in putting together this edited volume. It examines the crucial, yet overlooked, role narratives play in the rapidly changing relationship between Europe and China. 

Contributors to the volume analyze the role of narratives in different societies and arenas ranging from economic and foreign policy to history and social media. Emphasizing the social dimension of narrative, the volume challenges traditional state-centric and strategic approaches in international politics. It also engages with the ubiquity of stories about the “other” in present manifold crises, and underscores the need for a heightened awareness of narratives and their consequences in decision-making processes.
