China and the Turbulent World: More than Business The G.O.R.K.I. Centre SPbU invites students, researchers, and all interested individuals to explore China’s role in the contemporary global order beyond its economic dimension. The meeting will address the deeper foundations of China’s international behavior, including the influence of philosophical traditions, historical experience, and cultural codes on its foreign policy. Particular attention will be given to China’s restrained approach to major geopolitical crises and its vision of global development. Professor Alexey Rodionov will examine China’s strategic restraint through the prism of cultural codes and communicative practices, while Professor Stanislav Tkachenko will focus on China’s position in the transformation of global economic relations and institutions. The discussion will be moderated by Karin Kneissl, Head of the G.O.R.K.I. Centre SPbU. The event will also consider whether China’s global conduct is shaped primarily by pragmatic calculation, civilizational specificity, or long-term strategic thinking, and how these factors define its role in the emerging world order.
