Re-globalisation

Since the end of the Cold War, globalisation has been the dominant political and economic trend. But what is Chinas role in globalisation? What is Chinas vision of the world? This title offers a fresh and stimulating account of how China''s involvement in globalisation has changed over time, and how its role in leading the re-globalisation process is profoundly reshaping the world. Introducing an innovative theoretical framework in the shape of re-globalisation, this book discusses Chinas strategies and challenges while interacting with the international community. The book provides several illuminating case studies, such as the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI), the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank (AIIB), and the strategies of the Chinese technology firm Alibaba. Rich in data and bold in argument, the book provides an extraordinarily dynamic depiction of how Chinas encounter with the outside world has not only transformed itself, but also reshaped the global order. As the first systemic and book-length study of re-globalisation, this volume will appeal to researchers and students of politics and Chinese studies, and contemporary Chinese politics in particular.
