“…Threats that challenge China's sovereignty or integrity are no longer bound to China's national borders, as the evacuation of more than 35,000 Chinese citizens from conflict-ridden Libya in 2011 showed (Junbo and Méndez, 2015). Facing increasing domestic pressure to protect Chinese citizens abroad as well as to secure its economic interests in other world regions, the PRC has genuinely augmented its response tools to such security challenges, and enhanced its diplomatic and military capabilities to face not only domestic security threats, but also those that are transnational in scope and nature (Ghiselli, 2018(Ghiselli, , 2020. This includes improved coordination of the PLA and its preparation for missions beyond the Chinese nation-state.…”

Although the main drivers of EU-China relations remain of an economic kind, meaning primarily concerns with trade, investment and intellectual property issues, the security dimension has become a central and vital pillar of EU-China relations. This book disentangles the complexity of the EU-China security relationship. It sheds light on the temporal dimension, examining the impact of changing geopolitical settings on EU-China security relations over time. Moreover, it provides three case studies to illustrate how this cooperation unfolds on the ground in the fields of anti-terrorism, anti-piracy and climate/energy security. It shows that on a structural level, the EU and China are increasingly bound in complex entanglements that render them interdependent and hence lead to security cooperation as none of the two can resolve issues of global importance, such as transnational security concerns, on its own. Yet, on an actor-level, mistrust and tensions prevail that stem from the inherently different ways in which the EU and China view world politics and their respective position in it. Along the lines of its ten chapters, the book explores the drivers towards EU-China cooperation in the wider sense of security as such and particularly sheds light on the widening scope of non-military EU-China security cooperation, focusing on the rationales, dynamics and consequences of security cooperation despite political tensions. Thereby, the book offers an innovative perspective on international cooperation, unifying explanations from different theoretical strands and thereby offering a novel conceptual framework.

“…Andrea Ghiselli [11] systematically analyzed the correlation between various external threats and particularly focused on the risks to the lives and safety of citizens and the growing role of NTS in China's foreign policy. Ghiselli conclude that the expansion of China's overseas interests, the security of its citizens, and the increase in overseas missions of the People's Liberty Army (PLA) have played significant role in China's foreign policy.…”

With the emergence of a series of global security incidents, scholars and observers have placed increasing importance on nontraditional security (NTS). Since 2012, Xi Jinping's regime has emphasized NTS issues and cooperation, which begs the question "What is the role of NTS in China's foreign policy, and how is it shaped?" This study analyzes articles that include the term "nontraditional security" ("非传统安全") in The People's Daily newspaper since its first mention in 2001. Focusing particularly on the period between 2012 and 2019, the study explains China's securitization process and its motivations toward NTS issues. By analyzing case studies of the NTS issues of terrorism, environmental issues, and cybersecurity, and further summarizing the logic in common behind the Chinese government's process of securitizing NTS issues, this paper highlights the correlation between the characteristics of China's NTS and China's major foreign policy initiatives that play an active role in leading international efforts to enhance global governance and exploring new models of cooperation. Based on an analysis of China's emphasis on promotion of NTS and provision of public goods, I argue that NTS has played an increasingly important role in China's pursuit of greater influence in global governance mechanisms.
