We are excited to announce that project The Global Connectivity Outreach of the European Union in a Multiplex World Order by prof. Emilian Kavalski has been selected for funding by the OPUS 25 program of the NCN National Science Centre of Poland. We would like to congratulate prof. Emilian Kavalski for this outstanding achievement. We are delighted to have such a recognised and high-performing researcher as a member of our community. This project indicates that the proliferation of multiple connectivity projects suggests a qualitative shift in global politics from a trans-Atlantic pivot which dominated most of the post-World War II international affairs to a trans-Eurasian one. In this respect, the main research objective of the project is to assess the ways in which such large-scale connectivity projects have been deployed by both traditional and resurgent major international actors to promote distinct visions and versions of global order. The projected investigation will undertake a parallel assessment of four connectivity projects: (i) the EU’s Global Gateway (GG), China’s Belt and Road Initiative (BRI), the USA’s Build Back Better World (3BW), and the Indo-Japanese Asia-Africa Growth Corridor (AAGC). The claim is that these largescale connectivity projects are not merely about establishing infrastructure or facilitating trade, but also – and primarily – about managing the turbulence of contemporary international relations. As such, these projects are about order promotion.
