Summary
What role does differentiation play in increasing the resilience or strategic autonomy in relation to China's influence? To explore this question, Cecile Pelaudeix has compiled a database comparing differentiation in the EU, ASEAN and Mercosur. This report and its accompanying database provide valuable information on the three regional institutions responses to China's influence on foreign direct investment and security. The database sheds light on how differentiated organisations may increase resilience or strategic autonomy in relation to China's influence.
