The study aims to generate a map of the knowledge based on the research on topics related to governance and security, risks, competition and cooperation for the FDDI (Fudan Development Institute) proceedings publishing project: Reflections on Governance: Security and Risks, Competition and Cooperation. That mapping exercise would enable a broader audience to delve into the current state, and interdisciplinary pathways of the research published worldwide for addressing complex problems of governance. Following this introduction, the second section presents the bibliometric methods used and the results interpretation. The third section presents the results, followed by the fourth and fifth sections of discussion and conclusion, respectively.
