Moderator: Qin Gao, Maurice V. Russell Professor of Social Policy and Social Work Practice, Associate Dean for Doctoral Education, Director of China Center for Social Policy, Columbia School of Social Work

The violent conflict in Ukraine triggered by Russia, China’s drift away from a “peaceful rise” strategy and America’s near abandonment of liberal leadership have created deep uncertainty. This book project asks: Under what conditions do great powers abandon or significantly alter relatively peaceful grand strategies for reasons of status? It examines how strategic interaction between great powers—and the pivotal role of domestic coalitions—shapes expectations of status reciprocity and recognition leading to great power conflicts.

Speaker's Bio: T.V. Paul is Distinguished James McGill Professor in the Department of Political Science at McGill University, Canada and a Fellow of the Royal Society of Canada. A former President of International Studies Association, he is also the Founding Director of the Global Research Network on Peaceful Change (GRENPEC). Paul is the author or editor of 24 books and over 90 scholarly articles/book chapters in International Relations. The Unfinished Quest: India’s Search for Major Power Status from Nehru to Modi (Oxford University Press and Westland-Context, 2024) is his latest book. For more, see: www.tvpaul.com.

This event is hosted by the Weatherhead East Asian Institute and co-sponsored by the Columbia China Center for Social Policy, the China and the World Program and the Harriman Institute.
