Tensions are increasingly playing out between China and Russia, acting individually or collectively, and the West across a range of issues, including Responsibility to Protect, Syria, Crimea, the South China Sea, Cyber Security and freedom of navigation in exclusive economic zones.
Using the lens of Comparative International Law, this talk examines how to characterise Chinese and Russian approaches to international law and what these challenges might say about the universality, or otherwise, of international law in this newly emerging Competitive World Order.
