In recent years, the Chinese government has engaged in a host of multilateral institutional creation efforts. Since 1990, China has acted as an institutional initiator or founding member of at least 21 distinct multilateral initiatives. These range from new multilateral development banks, intergovernmental security organizations, and space technology organizations through to transnational public policy forums, inter-regional groupings, and human rights conferences (see Stephen, 2021 for an overview).
In Switzerland, the predominant family arrangement of different-sex parents is a gendered division of tasks. The majority of couples adopt the model of the father as breadwinner and the mother working parttime in the labour market. This ongoing socio-legal research project is interested in the reorganisation of family arrangements at the moment of divorce and more specifically in how different concepts of gender (in)equality play out in the negotiation of divorce agreements in Switzerland.
