Advantage China: Prof. Jeremy Garlick on How China is Reshaping the World

Prof. Jeremy Alan Garlick, Director of the J. Masaryk Centre of International Studies and Associate Professor of International Relations and China Studies at Prague University of Economics and Business, shares key insights from his book “Advantage China: Agent of Change in an Era of Global Disruption.” China’s growing influence is shaping global affairs across Asia, Africa, Latin America, Europe, and North America. But what drives China’s rise, and how should the West respond? Advantage China delves into these critical questions, examining the political, economic, and cultural forces at play. From domestic economic and demographic pressures to the expanding reach of the Belt and Road Initiative, Prof. Jeremy Garlick challenges Western misconceptions and advocates for a fresh perspective on the international political order, especially in the post-COVID-19 era. Dr. Jeremy’s research primarily explores the Belt and Road Initiative, China's relations with Central and Eastern Europe (CEE), China-Middle East relations, and the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC). He is also the author of Reconfiguring the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor: Geo-Economic Pipe Dreams Versus Geopolitical Realities (2021) and The Impact of China’s Belt and Road Initiative: From Asia to Europe (2019). Prof. Garlick holds a PhD in Political Science from Palacký University Olomouc, Czech Republic, and an MA in International Relations from Staffordshire University.
