Biography
Dani Solomon is a Research Associate at SOAS, University of London, where she recently completed the PhD on which this book is based. Her work focuses on international order and hegemony, Gramscian theory, China and the global South. This is her first book.
"The "liberal international order" is an ideological lens deployed to advance American interests. Using China's compliance with international order but opposition to American claims of hegemony, Dr Solomon offers a radical, Gramscian, reframing of order to make it a more meaningful analytical concept."

“In this book the author offers a compelling corrective to the assertion that China is necessarily illiberal in its approach to the international order. The Chinese approach is highly sophisticated and in many ways mirrors what the West sees as liberal - but with Chinese characteristics. Well written and persuasive, the book is a valuable addition to and interpretation of knowledge."
- Stephen Chan OBE, Professor of World Politics, School of Oriental & African Studies, University of London
