The return of great power competition poses some important questions about exactly what kind of competition is taking place. What are states competing over, or for? The answer, increasingly, seems to be that there are fewer and fewer areas of international political, economic and social life untouched by competitive dynamics. This workshop therefore seeks to integrate perspectives on great power competition from a wide range of disciplinary specialisations – including International Relations, Political Theory, Law, Business Studies and Management, Political Science, Economics and Finance, Sociology, Psychology, and History – to evaluate how competition is manifest across multiple dimensions of interaction, both in theory and practice. In doing so it seeks to understand how increasingly transactional national postures in the military, diplomatic, technology, legal, and economic spheres, affect actors and sectors beyond the national security state, in supply chains, energy, raw materials, and intellectual property.
