This open access book offers a groundbreaking examination of the profound and lasting impacts of COVID-19 on U.S.-China relations. As the first comprehensive study on this topic, this book explores the multifaceted effects of COVID-19 on key aspects of U.S.-China relations, covering areas such as public health, trade and supply chain challenges, people-to-people connections, shifts in public opinion, rising nationalism, anti-Asian sentiments, and strategic assessments. Since the pandemic’s outbreak in late 2019, China and the United States have both suffered catastrophically. So too has the U.S.-China relationship, which was already at a historic low point before COVID-19 accelerated its deterioration. This book critically analyzes how the pandemic has deepened existing fissures and created new areas of tensions. Emphasizing the need for objective analysis, it underscores the importance of in-depth reflections on the pandemic and its far-reaching consequences, a crucial step towards healing and restoration in the post-COVID era. Beyond the direct impact on trade and bilateral relations, this book explores the wider social and political consequences of the pandemic. It examines how this public health crisis has shaped mutual understanding and perceptions between the two nations, stimulated the rise of nationalism and populism in both societies, and discusses how politicians have unfortunately exploited this crisis for political mobilization. With contributions by leading and emerging scholars from both nations, this book reflects a collaborative effort, emphasizing the importance of bilateral dialogue. As the world steps into the post-COVID era, this work offers timely insights into the potential pathways for rebuilding and redefining U.S.-China relations.

‘With US democracy in crisis and higher education under attack from many directions, now is a crucial time to develop and assess ways of teaching college students to be more constructively engaged. This work will be valuable for anyone involved in the essential work of civic education.’ —Peter Levine, Tisch College of Civic Life, Tufts University ‘Whether you are a scholar who wants to know how to foster greater civic engagement among your students, a student who wants to see more attention to civic action in your classes, an administrator who wants to show that higher education contributes to a healthy civil society, or a citizen who cares about the state of American democracy, you should read this book and learn from its many examples’ —David Campbell, Packey J. Dee Professor of American Democracy, University of Notre Dame ‘Civic Pedagogies is a rallying cry for civic education at institutions of higher learning. But more than a call to action, this book is an essential “how to”.’ —Melody C. Barnes, Executive Director, Karsh Institute of Democracy, University of Virginia This book comes at a crucial time as the USA and countries around the world wrestle with an ongoing period of democratic backsliding that shows little sign of abating. Alarmingly, study after study shows that younger people are not convinced that democracy will endure – and that a sizable number are no longer convinced that it should. Especially as changing educational and political landscapes make efforts to educate for democracy both more necessary and more fraught, contributors to this book offer innovative pedagogies and praxis grounded in political and civic theories aimed at strengthening democratic norms, practices and institutions.

This book seeks to show that the Anthropocene epoch of the earth system has converged with the global epoch of capitalist history. Planetary warming and climate change are, therefore, unfolding rapidly. This enveloping process is driven forward by the mutual ruptures of a deteriorating earth system and fossil based global capitalism, as a fraught socioecological totality. Overlapping crises of time are the net result. They involve, the recurring, myopic volatility of financialised capitalism, the ecological impossibility of sustaining capitalist growth, the spreading arrhythmias of biotic, animal, bird, insect and marine life and the irremediable psychological stresses of climate change anxiety. The time crises of global capitalism originate from certain disjunctures of time associated with carbon extractivism, carbon emission markets and official climate change projections. The book sets out the counter constructions of time necessary to energise the climate justice movement and advance ecosocialist principles.

This edited volume discusses non-state actors as agents of foreign policy. It questions whether non-state actors can act as foreign policy makers and if the contemporary role of non-state actors constitutes a theoretical challenge to foreign policy. Chapters demonstrate the impact of non-state entities through the lenses of their direct role as decision-makers, with examples drawn from the African continent, the Middle East, Europe, and Asia. Arguing for the necessity of approaching foreign policy in a broader frame, beyond the scope of the state and the individual, the book fills a gap in the literature and creates a closer nexus between area studies and foreign policy. This volume will be of interest to both academics and practitioners across the fields of international relations, foreign policy analysis, and area studies.

This volume offers a unique interdisciplinary and comparative perspective on contemporary processes of othering by state institutions in relation to dynamics of racism, xenophobia, sexism, homo-transphobia, as well as ethnic- and class- based discriminations. It focuses on eight original case studies empirically grounded in various domains of the ‘social state’, in Southern African and Western European contexts: the education and health care systems, the regulation of work and of procreation rights, and institutions in charge of granting asylum. The authors provide key insights on how states produce Others, and on how othering contributes in turn to the process of state formation and the politicization of public action.
