When it comes to global research, much of the focus — in both collaboration and competition — is on the relationship between the United States and China. But that bilateral lens misses out on critical linkages around the world, according to a new paper from Georgetown University’s Center for Security and Emerging Technology.

The policy brief looks at the global distribution of research, as measured by outputs such as bibliometric data. Although there has been much concern about the U.S. losing ground to China, the European Union has also become a more prominent player over the past 20 years, with greater research publications in areas like condensed-matter physics and psychiatry.

In addition, CSET finds a shifting picture of global research collaboration. While the U.S., the E.U., and smaller countries with advanced research and development like Australia have all grown significantly more collaborative over the last two decades, China’s level of international collaboration over the same period is relatively flat.

“If you want to dismantle institutionally racist structures, it starts by listening to the people who are most affected, and that really didn’t happen.”
