This conference brings these collaborative and competing interests into focus by exploring China’s means and objectives, contrasting them with perspectives from surrounding regions. The dialectical format will bring out balanced and comprehensive perspectives of use to policy-makers and scholars in coming to terms with the emergent new world order of the twenty-first century.
