Erfolg in letzter Minute: Indiens G20-Präsidentschaft

Die Aufnahme der Afrikanischen Union als ständiges Mitglied und die Einigung auf eine Abschlusserklärung auf dem G20-Gipfel sind wichtige Erfolge für Indiens Premier Modi. Ob sich das Land damit als Führungsmacht des Globalen Südens etablieren kann, bleibt abzuwarten, meinen Christian Wagner und Lars Brozus.

Globales Meeting unter Stress

Auf dem G20-Gipfel schlagen geopolitische Spannungen durch: Russlands Angriffskrieg – und die neue Rivalität zwischen China und Indien. Wie konfliktfähig ist G20 noch?

Weder ist Taiwan eine «abtrünnige Provinz», noch geht es um «Wieder»-Vereinigung – der Westen darf nicht alles glauben, was China strategisch propagiert

Während man im Westen immer öfter einen militärischen Showdown heraufbeschwört, hat Peking längst den hybriden Krieg gegen Taipeh lanciert. Dabei ist Festlandchina geschickt darin, das eigene einseitige Taiwan-Narrativ weltweit zu verankern. Skepsis ist angebracht.

Projects

The annual »Berlin Conference on Asian Security« facilitates an exchange of information and expertise on Asia-Pacific security questions between Asian, American and European scholars and politicians.
Especially Chinas entanglements in multiple territorial and maritime disputes and confrontations with the United States over the freedom of navigation are seen as evidence for how rising powers seek to redefine key norms of the existing international order as they are codified, for example, in the UN Convention on the Law of the Sea. The renewed focus on the seas, however, represents a bigger phenomenon. This project researches it including the consideration of state territoriality.
