About this title

Synopsis

China and the Global South in a Contested World Order is a timely and thought-provoking exploration of China’s growing influence across the Global South. From the Belt and Road Initiative to China’s rising power in Africa and Southeast Asia, this book explores China’s vision of a new world order and its unique approach to “true multilateralism”. Through compelling case studies and fresh insights such as China’s underexplored provincial diplomacy, it reveals the shared challenges, opportunities, competition, cooperation and untapped potential between China and the Global South. The author calls for deeper collaboration between China and the Global South to harness their collective potential in an era of global crises and shifting power dynamics. This book offers essential understanding of how this relationship is shaping the future of global change.
