Dependence in Europe's Relations with China bit.ly/3Ll7I3a. Report by the European Think Tank Network on China (ETNC) with editorial/chapter contributions by MERICS colleagues @Fraghiretti Barbara Pongratz Bernhard Bartsch. Another great ETNC collaborative effort!

Happy to have collaborated with @chinadialogue's James Norris on his article stating that it's too early to go for a global carbon market, instead it advocates cooperation "as the way forward."

The G7 environment/climate ministers will be meeting in Berlin this week. I looked at an issue that will be on the agenda - the #climateclub - and how it relates to China. Excited to share my analysis:

Many think tanks realize the need for a more structured approach to diversity, equity and inclusion (#DEI). MERICS Associate Analyst Barbara Pongratz presented a 7-step guide at the Think Tank Lab. #DiversityEquityInclusion

Im Bundestag ist China ein Thema mit Konjunktur. Am 10.11. gab es eine Aktuelle Debatte zur deutschen Chinapolitik, heute eine zu den China Protesten. Barbara Pongratz und ich haben recherchiert, wie Chinapolitik im Bundestag verankert ist. Stay tuned! bundestag.de/dokumente/text…

With colleagues Roderick Kefferpütz Vincent Brussee, I've been digging through the Bundestag's archive: we show where+in which context China is mentioned, including Bundestag expertise on China, and the tools parliamentarians have to shape China policy. merics.org/en/short-analy…
