Global China

A Critique of Chinese and Western Narratives

About this book

This insightful book explores evolving perceptions of China, contrasting dominant Western narratives with Chinese perspectives. Highlighting the complexities of these discourses, the book critiques three prevailing views of China's rise: the return of geopolitics, challenges to liberal order and prospects for collaborative governance.

Bridging China Studies, International Relations and Global Political Economy, the book examines the politics of knowledge production to present a nuanced understanding of China. It argues for viewing China as a distinctive yet interconnected global power whose development reflects a dialectical relationship with existing global systems. It is essential reading for understanding China's role in today's shifting global political landscape.
