“…24-25). The Central Asian states told Washington that their post-9/11 cooperation would fade (Clarke 2010). They asked that 'respective members of the antiterrorist coalition set a final timeline for their temporary use of objects of infrastructure and stay of their military contingents on the territories of the SCO member states' (Kimmage 2005).…”

The institutional development and performance of the Group of 20 (G20), the BRICS group of Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa, and the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO) have shaped twenty-first-century global governance. Each of these plurilateral summit institutions (PSIs) has different founding visions, missions, memberships, participants, institutionalisation patterns and priorities. However, the potential for competition soon gave way to contagious, convergent, cumulative cooperation. By 2021, each was countering COVID-19-created crises in a mutually reinforcing way. Each extended outreach to new members or regular guest leaders, expanded their institutions and civil society engagement, and embraced economic finance, social sustainability and political-security issues. They increased their performance on the major dimensions of global governance in mutually supportive, if highly implicit, ways. The three big non-western Asian powers-China, Russia and India-at the core of these PSIs drove this dynamic, contagious, cumulative convergence and applied lessons learnt across all three PSIs. This was reinforced by their increasing, shared need to guide globalisation and counter its shocks, from the Asian financial crisis in 1997-1999 to the COVID-19 pandemic of 2020-2021.

“…The issues in Xinjiang led China to interpret domestic political stability as deeply interlinked with external threats emanating from Central Asia. This was one of the primary reasons behind the establishment of Shanghai Five (S-5) in 1996 which was later transmuted into Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) in 2002 (Clarke 2010). Its founding members included China, Russia, Tajikistan, Kyrgyzstan, and Kazakhstan.…”

“…In such a world, all decisions that matter globally or specifically -according to the leaders in Beijing -will flow through some central node, perhaps a compliant UN, with China's right to primus inter pares if it chooses to sit at that discussion. China has a long history of 'vassalization' that, unlike the colonialization of Africa by the Victorian states, does not necessarily include regime change, but it does include an automatic veto and first bite at any apple if desired by Chinese representatives (Swanström, 2005;Cohen, 2006;Clarke, 2010). Given the ubiquity of the huge Chinese diaspora today, the coverage of those representatives will be extensive geographically.…”

The Routledge Handbook of International Cybersecurity examines the development and use of information and communication technologies (ICTs) from the perspective of international peace and security.Acknowledging that the very notion of peace and security has become more complex, the volume seeks to determine which questions of cybersecurity are indeed of relevance for international peace and security and which, while requiring international attention, are simply issues of contemporary governance or development. The Handbook offers a variety of thematic, regional and disciplinary perspectives on the question of international cybersecurity, and the chapters contextualize cybersecurity in the broader contestation over the world order, international law, conflict, human rights, governance and development.The volume is split into four thematic sections:• Concepts and frameworks;• Challenges to secure and peaceful cyberspace;• National and regional perspectives on cybersecurity;• Global approaches to cybersecurity. This book will be of much interest to students of cybersecurity, computer science, sociology, international law, defence studies and International Relations in general.
