Despite the strong rationale for negotiating global rules, consensus on whether and how to regulate LAWS has yet to be reached. This article explains multilateral bargaining over global LAWS regulation. Theoretically, it draws on rational choice institutionalism to develop an argument about the temporal dynamics of the negotiations over LAWS regulation. I emphasize the role of great power preferences and coalition formation in impeding preference convergence. Empirically, it focuses on the principal forum discussing LAWS regulation—the Group on Governmental Experts (GGE) under the Convention on Certain Conventional Weapons (CCW)—and uses a novel dataset, complemented with text analysis methods to test the theoretical framework. The findings are threefold. First, several great powers consistently oppose new regulations on LAWS, distinguishing them from most other negotiating parties advocating for stricter rules. Second, weaker states turn to coalition formation as a strategy to augment their power. Third, these two factors jointly hinder the concession-convergence dynamic typically expected under consensus decision rules. This article has implications for debates on the regulation of LAWS, arms control negotiations, and the global governance of AI.","PeriodicalId":51510,"journal":{"name":"Global Policy","volume":"17 1","pages":"13-35"},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2025-11-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/1758-5899.70101","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"146680361","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

While existing research has mapped the institutional complexity of the emerging AI regime, public trust in the stakeholders involved remains underexplored. This study addresses this gap using parallel surveys in the United States and China, two leading AI powers locked in strategic rivalry. Results show that respondents in both countries express the highest levels of trust in their own government and the lowest in their geopolitical rival, with other actors such as the European Union, tech firms, and research institutes falling in between. These patterns reflect how geopolitical competition and intergroup dynamics shape public trust, posing challenges for inclusive and cooperative governance in contested global domains such as AI. At the same time, individuals who view AI as socially beneficial and who support international cooperation report higher trust across a broad set of actors, including rivals. These findings illuminate systematic patterns in public opinions that condition the political viability of global AI governance and suggest that narratives emphasizing shared benefits and collaboration may help bridge trust gaps.","PeriodicalId":51510,"journal":{"name":"Global Policy","volume":"17 1","pages":"36-46"},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2025-10-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/1758-5899.70105","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"146256567","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We take issue with this claim by making three interrelated arguments. First, if at all, the BRI challenges the EU approach to development on the programmatic rather than on the implementation level. The BRI's proclaimed “no strings attached” policy stands in contrast to the EU's rule-and value-based approach with liberal conditionality at its core. Second, we detect decoupling between programme and implementation for both Beijing and Brussels. The BRI applies “conditionality through the backdoor” to support development at home rather than abroad. The EU prioritizes stability over reform necessary to meet membership conditions. Third, the decoupling between programme and implementation may reduce the potential for collision rendering competition and cooperation between Brussels and Beijing more likely. It, however, undermines the legitimacy of both approaches to development, as neither lives up to its proclaimed promise of promoting inclusive growth.","PeriodicalId":51510,"journal":{"name":"Global Policy","volume":"17 1","pages":"71-80"},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2025-10-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/1758-5899.70086","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"146680535","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Compared to the first term, the scope of America First is much wider and the speed much faster. Trump no longer sticks to IO rules and is structurally undermining the US domestic agencies that provide input for IOs. At the same time, the academic literature highlights the overwhelming resilience of IOs over the last two centuries, and the demand for IOs to address international problems remains high. The loss of US funding, membership, and input is real, but an equally important question is how IOs themselves and the other members cope with and counter this challenge. Several leaders of IOs have pro-actively stepped up and are strategizing on how to protect their organizations. In light of the imminent budget pressures, many IOs will have to downsize and potentially merge with other international institutions. IOs may thus become less central to the conduct of international relations. Yet, unless the Trump administration, in improbably collective action with China and Russia, manages to overthrow the whole postwar international system, IOs will remain relevant actors.","PeriodicalId":51510,"journal":{"name":"Global Policy","volume":"17 1","pages":"4-12"},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2025-10-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/1758-5899.70107","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"146680488","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Although the BRI's stated objectives align with the SDG agenda, empirical evidence from EU countries reveals that institutional fragmentation and policy misalignment can significantly hinder sustainable development outcomes. Employing a mixed-methods approach, the study applies Latent Dirichlet Allocation (LDA) to a corpus of 321 BRI-related policy documents to extract thematic patterns and assess their semantic alignment with SDG 8 and 9 keyword frameworks. It then analyzes governance fragmentation at the domestic level, EU-member states level, and China-EU level, complemented by case studies of Italy, Poland, Croatia, and Slovenia to explore how different levels of fragmentation impede BRI project implementation and weaken SDG progress. The findings reveal three key insights: (1) BRI-related discourse demonstrates moderate alignment with SDGs 8 and 9 in terms of policy narratives; (2) governance fragmentation in EU countries is multi-dimensional and structurally embedded; and (3) fragmentation undermines BRI project continuity and its developmental impact. This research proposes a three-pronged policy framework comprising politically neutral commitment mechanisms, EU-compatible regulatory alignment guidelines, and adaptive pathways for SDG compliance—designed to strengthen institutional coherence and enhance the sustainability of cross-border BRI cooperation.","PeriodicalId":51510,"journal":{"name":"Global Policy","volume":"16 5","pages":"1004-1020"},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2025-10-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/1758-5899.70087","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145537902","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

While increasingly explored in tandem, key differences in their intergenerational justice dimensions are overlooked. First, the timelines for imposing harm differ. Climate risks cumulate and intensify across generations. In contrast, the longer nuclear weapons are retained, the greater the probability of nuclear war at some point, without it necessarily becoming more probable at any particular point. Nuclear risks are transient, meaning that risks from past choices resolve if catastrophe is avoided. Yet if elevated risk levels persist, the probability of some future generation facing the aftermath of nuclear war cumulates. While the long-term trajectory is grim, the threat appears manageable at each point in time. Second, incentives for immediate versus delayed action to tackle underlying challenges vary. The appeal of fossil fuels is expected to wane, whereas the perceived benefits of nuclear deterrence are likely to endure. Third, the salience of intergenerational implications of nuclear weapons is diminishing, while climate impacts grow tangible. Despite shared moral dilemmas, nuclear-related intergenerational injustice is particularly difficult to recognize and address. Acknowledging this discrepancy matters for how we approach our obligations to posterity.","PeriodicalId":51510,"journal":{"name":"Global Policy","volume":"16 5","pages":"945-954"},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2025-09-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/1758-5899.70097","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145537938","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this paper, we ask how businesses framed these private/voluntary efforts in the face of looming regulation, focusing on the EU's new Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive (CSDDD). Through a systematic coding of policy positions, we find businesses (1) using voluntary initiatives to delegitimize mandatory measures, (2) seeking to institutionalize voluntary norms, (3) pushing for private assurances to signify legal compliance, or (4) endorsing mandatory measures to protect the competitive advantage of sustainability leaders. While frames (1) and (4) shaped the debate, we argue that frames (2) and (3) are more fully reflected in the final text of the Directive. We explore both theoretical and practical implications.","PeriodicalId":51510,"journal":{"name":"Global Policy","volume":"16 5","pages":"1051-1062"},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2025-09-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/1758-5899.70075","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145537939","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It does so by applying a novel framework developed to identify forms of policy transfer. Drawing on qualitative data from the research conducted with experts from the four partner municipalities in UNW's GRB project in Türkiye, the study finds that UNW has played a key role as an initiator and mediator in embedding GRB at the local level, acting as a catalyst in empowering the practitioners at municipalities in their GRB work.
