On September 20th, prof.
Vasco Rato made a presentation during the “Global Return of War” summer course, held at the Abílio de Mattos e Silva Museum in Óbidos.
His talk was part of a session titled “Regional Conflict, Global (Dis)order: China and Taiwan,” which explored the geopolitical tensions surrounding China's rise and the potential consequences of conflict in the Taiwan Strait.
The event emphasized the complexity of China's role in reshaping the world order, particularly in the context of growing tensions with the United States and its allies.
Moderated by Daniel Marcos from IPRI-NOVA, the session included notable contributions from other experts such as Luís Tomé and Raquel Vaz Pinto.
