Prof Zhang Yunling "Managing the Challenges for a Better World"

As the world undergoes major changes, including the emergence of developing countries and a technological revolution, Zhang Yunling shares his views on what this means for the future of the global system and global governance.

New challenges are emerging. Power shifts and strategic competition can lead to uncertainty, confrontation and even war. To counter anti-globalization trends, he argues that peace-building is the ultimate goal to address these challenges, as the world benefits from an open and cooperative spirit and policies.

 

Zhang Yunling 张蕴岭, expert on international issues, is Academy Member of Chinese Academy of Social Science (CASS); Chair Professor, Chairman of Academic Council, School of Northeast Asia Studies, President of Institute for International Studies, Shandong University. He also is the author of numerous books published in Chinese and English, including “On East Asian Regional Cooperation: Ideality and Reality”.
