Handbook on the International Political Economy of China
This book examines the processes, evolution and consequences of China’s rapid integration into the global economy.

Chapters explore China’s behavior in global economic governance, the interests and motivations underlying China’s international economic initiatives and the influence of politics, including both domestic politics and foreign relations, on the country’s global economic footprint.

The systematic structure offers an overview of the scope of China’s global economic activities, with leading international scholars evaluating key theoretical debates and providing comprehensive coverage on all areas of international political economy.
Chapters explore the behaviour, interests and motivations underlying China’s international economic initiatives. The influence of both domestic and international politics is also discussed in terms of the country’s global economic footprint. Through analyses of international economic engagements in areas such as trade, investment, finance, sustainable development and global economic governance, chapters give their assessment on the IPE of China and reveal how China’s role on the political and economic stage is evolving.
