    Written by an international team of experts from the US, UK, Hong Kong, China, Korea and Canada, this important and interesting book examines and explores the relationship between the international political and economic system, and China’s economic and political transition.

    Exploring international relations theory with a China-centric view, the book addresses key and significant questions such as:

    • Has the outside world shaped China’s position within the global polity and economic, and affected the way China deals with the world economy?
    • Have Chinese leaders and foreign policy makers internalized the norms and values of the global economic activity?
    • Who are the key players in China in this process of globalization?

    Giving vital insights into China’s likely development and international influence in the next decade, China’s Reforms and International Political Economy is an essential and invaluable read.
