The paper proposes a guided methodology for problem solving in a first-year undergraduate contract law module. Developed from our teaching practice and inspired by theories of computational modelling, our approach helps students to identify and extract legal information from primary and secondary sources, and to organise what they have learned into structured frameworks. The method creates scaffolding for learning and a framework through which legal issues can be identified. These frameworks can be used to locate legal information relevant to the construction of analysis and argument to the point of producing legal advice with confidence. The paper describes our approach in five distinct stages: (1) extracting doctrinal content from legal sources, (2) organising such content into a coherent framework, (3) applying the framework to problem scenarios, (4) constructing , and (5) writing up detailed, authoritative, and persuasive legal advice.. Our methodology embeds essential skills aided by a “semantic web” of concepts from which one could draw inferences, and uses computer-inspired visualisation for constructing arguments. Computational thinking allows students to visualise connections between the initial categorisation of legal information and the constitutive elements of a persuasive legal argument to articulate and demystify the process of producing legal advice.

“…[45] Aside from the perspective of constructivism, China-EUrope relations are expected to move forward via the ongoing redefinition of their identities. [46] Chinese researchers have highlighted two dimensions: social ontology and future orientation. From the perspective of social ontology, China-EUrope relations can be defined as a social relationship with intersubjectivity, [47] thereby constructing an appropriate identity in a continuous and constant interaction.…”

The Remaking of China–EUrope Relations in the New Era of US–China Antagonism

The recent years have witnessed a significant change in China-EUrope relations, with the EU's strategic positioning of China undergoing a fundamental shift from a "partner" to a "systemic rival." By applying a theoretical framework based on neoclassical realism, the present paper examines the determinant factors leading to such a shift. This study highlights three factors: first, a change in the US's strategy and governance capability; second, the power symmetries between China and EUrope, including salient changes in material strength and marked differences in norms; third, an emergent change in strategic culture, encompassing a striving China visà-vis a strategically autonomous EUrope. By following Götz's (2021) insights on neoclassical realist approaches that employ intervening variables as complementary factors, we identify the US factor as the most important international factor in structural terms, while the power symmetries and strategic culture act as complementary factors. The paper concludes that while maintaining engagement, China-EUrope relations will only see further intensified rivalry and contradictions in the future.

“…However, such economy-centred explanations fall short of providing an encompassing picture of the main drivers of cooperation, the mutual perceptions of the EU and China, as well as their changing roles within the international system. Thus, it is crucial to also understand their respective identities and roles, as well as the way they interact with each other (Wong, 2013).…”

She has also contributed several chapters to edited volumes published by Oxford University Press, Routledge, Edward Elgar and NOMOS, and has published a number of policy papers for nonacademic research outlets.x AcknowledgementsMany people have supported me throughout the intellectual journey that led to this book. Not all their names can be mentioned here, but their contributions are sincerely appreciated and gratefully acknowledged. This book was born out of my PhD thesis at Freiburg University. I express my sincere gratitude to my first and second supervisors Diana Panke and Jürgen Rüland for their guidance and support. I also thank Sandra Destradi for her encouragement, care and constant motivation. I further want to thank Zheng Chunrong of Tongji University in Shanghai, who hosted me during my field trip to China and shared his extensive network with me. I am also grateful to Bristol University Press for showing interest in this book. In particular, I want to thank my editors Caroline Astley, Stephen Wenham and their team, whose feedback helped me to improve this book. Sincere gratitude also goes to the anonymous reviewers whose critical comments and suggestions did much to make this book better.I would not have been able to write this book without the support and help of many colleagues, friends and family members. First and foremost, I thank my wonderful colleagues at the University of Freiburg, the Arnold-Bergstraesser Institute (ABI) and the Centre for Applied Research in Partnership with the Orient (CARPO) for their critical comments, considerate advice and continuous guidance. Their encouraging support also helped me over the course of the whole research project, especially when planning and conducting my field research. I particularly thank them for equipping me with the necessary self-confidence and trust as I headed out into the field, as well as for providing last-minute comfort and motivation in the final stages of this book project. But most of all, I thank my friends, family and partner, who never stopped believing in me and the successful completion of this book. Thank you for being my greatest critics and my strongest supporters.
