CfP: Special Issue „China’s Science Silk Road“ in Global China Pulse2026.7.26 {en}

China’s ‚Science Silk Road‘ invests in research cooperation with countries along the BRI. But does this create distinct ways of doing science? How does it address local-global development challenges? And is it reshaping the global science system? For Global China Pulse, we invite contributions that critically examine the initiative’s multi-level impacts on local societies, established science powers, and international research cooperation.

Pitches of up to 300 words should be submitted by 30 September 2026. Full manuscripts, upon acceptance, will be due by 31 January 2027.
