This article examines whether the People's Republic of China (PRC) has effectively exported its unique AI governance principles through its Digital Silk Road and other global initiatives. The article makes two primary contributions. First, it traces the core tenets of Chinese AI governance and the channels through which Beijing seeks to disseminate them internationally, drawing on a systematic analysis of Chinese-language policy documents and official sources. As a second step, it assesses the extent to which these principles are reflected in African AI strategies, looking at continental and national AI strategies adopted by African democracies, focusing particularly on Ghana as a case study, and examining select AI cooperation projects involving Chinese partners. The findings indicate that AI governance strategies in African democracies largely align with Western-derived normative frameworks. African states exhibit strategic agency by selectively engaging a diverse array of external partners, including Chinese firms, to mitigate the risk of overdependence. Consequently, China's influence on AI norm diffusion in Africa should not be overstated.</p>","PeriodicalId":51510,"journal":{"name":"Global Policy","volume":"17 4","pages":"619-631"},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2026-09-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/1758-5899.70199","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148904324","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}

This essay argues that peace can no longer be imagined without a peaceful sky, termed here as “Aeropeace.” Aeropeace is a conceptual frame for rethinking airspace not only through the lens of “negative peace,” meaning the absence of violence and disruption, but also through the lens of “positive peace,” emphasizing safety, trust, justice, sustainability, and democratic participation. By reconceptualizing lower airspace as a public commons essential to everyday security, Aeropeace encourages a broader conversation about shared atmospheric governance and peace. Examples of negative Aeropeace include measures against digital insecurity that could compromise airspace governance, as well as measures to hinder physical incursions and armed attacks by drones, balloons, airplanes, and missiles. As examples of positive Aeropeace, the essay discusses the largely completed Airspace Tribunal Initiative and the incipient idea of indigenous Arctic airspace, drawing on Canadian examples.</p>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":51510,"journal":{"name":"Global Policy","volume":"17 4","pages":"744-751"},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2026-09-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148904249","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

While research on global catastrophic and existential risks has expanded, the temporal structures of political-economic institutions remain underexamined. Using the Fermi paradox as a heuristic lens, I argue that the capacity of complex technological societies to sustain long-term, risk-minimising and cooperative action represents a civilisational bottleneck. The challenge of organising extended temporal responsibility raises fundamental questions for political economy and international relations. From this perspective, the article considers the institutional conditions required for a cooperative global order capable of safeguarding humanity's future and the flourishing of life. It explores pathways to extend collective time horizons globally, including strengthened long-term governance frameworks, mechanisms for intergenerational representation and integrated forms of global political authority. The intertwining of questions, for example, through discounting and justice, suggests that new umbrella concepts are needed to translate such analysis into concrete policy or institutional design. The article concludes by discussing ‘temporal socialism’ and processual ‘world statehood’ as demanding yet viable concepts for institutionalising longer-term policy orientation of the world system.</p>","PeriodicalId":51510,"journal":{"name":"Global Policy","volume":"17 4","pages":"553-565"},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2026-09-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/1758-5899.70214","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148904323","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}

Under “Bidenomics,” the US government embraced a modern industrial strategy centered on large-scale public investment in high-technology and clean-energy industries, domestic content requirements, and selective decoupling from rival powers. By contrast, President Trump's Liberation Day Tariffs applied against most countries, and the “One Big Beautiful Bill” (BBB) and related policies prioritized tax increases (via tariff hikes, tax cuts, deregulation, traditional energy, and trade protectionism) in the name of “America First.” Both approaches represent contrasting breaks with decades of neoliberal free-market consensus, using state intervention in the economy to pursue national objectives. The analysis situates these policy shifts within the literature on industrial policy and geoeconomics, comparing their domestic aims, policy tools, and ideological underpinnings. It also explores the global political-economic implications. While differing in methods and rhetoric, Biden's and Trump's strategies each illustrate how economic policy is increasingly leveraged for potential geopolitical advantage in an era of renewed great-power rivalry.</p>","PeriodicalId":51510,"journal":{"name":"Global Policy","volume":"17 4","pages":"683-694"},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2026-09-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/1758-5899.70200","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148903796","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}

But, what if we took that sign in Glacier Park literally? Can bears be political? Does it make sense to consider Bear Country sovereign? Is our relationship with bears inevitably marked by a mutual threat of harm? Dominant IR conversations describe a remarkably bearless world.

This article proposes Complex Adaptive Science and Technology Diplomacy (CASTD) not as a descriptive label for the field as a whole, but as a conditional analytical and institutional design framework for contexts in which conventional diplomatic instruments face structural limits. Rather than treating diplomacy as an episodic extension of foreign policy, the article suggests reconceiving it, under specific conditions of systemic risk and distributed authority, as a form of strategic infrastructure for governing uncertainty. Drawing on complexity science, polycentric governance, and critical perspectives on science diplomacy, the framework addresses persistent limitations in the literature, including conceptual ambiguity, technocratic depoliticization, and limited evaluability. CASTD identifies three interdependent capacities, adaptive governance, network orchestration, and integrative synthesis, and outlines how these can be operationalized through coordination architectures and structured learning processes. Illustrative cases indicate that durable cooperation depends less on episodic leadership than on reproducible and adaptable forms of coordination.</p>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":51510,"journal":{"name":"Global Policy","volume":"17 4","pages":"752-763"},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2026-09-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148903999","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
