Global Governance and China

Scott Kennedy is Deputy Director of the Freeman Chair in China Studies and Director of the Project on Chinese Business and Political Economy at the Center for Strategic and International Studies.

‘China's growing participation in the institutions of global economic governance in recent years is undeniable, but discussion of them is too often facile. This volume, which brings together an impressive group of scholars, serves as a major contribution to our understanding of the substantial variability of China's behavior over a wide range of economic regimes, and why the details matter.’- Margaret M. Pearson, University of Maryland, USA‘China’s emergence as an economic superpower is the defining event of our times. Its smooth integration into the global economy requires adjustments both on its part and on the part of international institutions. This insightful book shows how the adjustment is proceeding in different areas – trade, finance, G20 coordination – and what are remaining challenges. An essential read for understanding China’s role in the world.’- David Dollar, John L. Thornton China Center, Brookings, USAA distinguished roster of Chinese and American scholars offer an original and convincing perspective on China's influence over global governance. Issue area by issue area, the authors illuminate both domestic and international drivers of China’s orientation toward global economic institutions.- Miles Kahler, American University and Council on Foreign Relations, USA
