Handbook Chapter: «The Party-State's Global Transgressive Political Activities and Influence Work», Ralph Weber (Routledge)
Ralph Weber has published a chapter entitled «The Party-State's Global Transgressive Political Activities and Influence Work» in the «Routledge Handbook on Global China». The publication appeared with Routledge on 22 October 2024.
Ralph Weber’s chapter examines the Chinese Party-State and its political power and influence globally, with a particular focus on Chinese propaganda and intelligence systems. It highlights the role of embassies and consulates in extending China’s global reach and influence. The chapter also addresses moral and political questions surrounding co-optation and complicity. It concludes by emphasising the need for research into the Party-State’s global reach, particularly its transgressive and influence-related elements, through both national and transnational perspectives to better understand how these factors interconnect.
Ralph Weber’s contribution has appeared in the «Routledge Handbook on Global China», which seeks to shed light on the complex and transformative nature of Global China by employing a diverse set of theory and analytical methods from research fields such as political science, international relations studies and area studies. The handbook was edited by Maximilian Mayer, Emilian Kavalski, Marina Rudyak and Xin Zhang.
Ralph Weber is Professor of European Global Studies at the Institute for European Global Studies. He specialises on Political Theory, Chinese Politics and modern Confucianism. Currently, he is the President of the European Association for Chinese Philosophy and the Chair of the Section on Political Theory in the Swiss Political Science Association.
