In the current situation of historic change, in which the economic-political network of relations between the global North and the global South is being reordered, particular China's rise poses a political and ideological challenge in many respects and presents several complexes of questions that require and challenge global left debates and to which answers must be found one way or another. In China itself, too, against the background of pressing socio-economic, technological and ecological challenges, Chinese government and society must forge new paths for development. There are no ready-made solutions; rather, development is an ongoing learning and search process.

Through these efforts, we integrate transformational challenges, critically develop concepts, and redefine society's relationship with nature and social dynamics. Additionally, our foundation actively promotes dialogue on international development and peace.
