Global governance and China: the dragon's learning curve

This volume offers systematic analysis of China's growing engagement in global governance institutions over the past three decades.

During this period, China has gone from outsider to observer to insider.

The volume is based on studies of Chinese involvement in a wide cross section of regimes, including trade, finance, intellectual property rights, foreign aid, and climate change.

The contributions show that China's participation in global governance reflects the mutually interactive processes of China's own socialization into the global community and the simultaneous adaptation of global institutions and actors to China's growing activism.
