"The book offers a comprehensive overview of China’s role in global governance – a
topic of increasing interest among academic and policy communities... The book is a valuable reference for international relations students and scholars as well as policy consultants with a special interest in China. It is easy to read and it outlines the contours of global governance – a complicated topic for those new to the field of international relations." - Bill Chou, University of Macau; China Information 2012 26: 377."China Engages Global Governance expresses cautious optimism and modest hopefulness in China’s rise and its growing power in global governance, believing that they “should be welcomed as they may provide greater diversity and great stability in global development”, but such advantages might be offset by the danger of “a low level of global collective action” (p. 184). As China continues to seek greater say in global governance and exerts bigger influences in the rule-making process with international affairs, this conclusive remark reminds the readers that like it or not, China is already a part of global governance, but how significant its role is in the making of the new world order remains to be determined."- Jinhua Li, Lecturer, University of North Carolina Asheville, USA.
