Opis

This book focuses on China's increasing involvement in global governance as a result of the phenomenal rise in its global power. It examines whether and in what ways China is capable of participating in multilateral interactions, if it is willing and able to provide global public goods to address a wide array of global problems, and what impact this would have on both global governance and China's domestic governance. It provides a comprehensive assessment of China's increasing influence over how world affairs are being managed, how other major powers are reacting to the increasing Chinese clout in global governance, and what the consequences and implications are for the evolving global system and world order as well as for China itself.
