| Summary: | "The coeditors of this book have undertaken a Herculean but very important task: to show that international governance will be the dominant school of thought among international relations scholars in the future. This book is well organized and the contributors make a persuasive case, beginning rightly, this writer believes, with examining China's views (the nation that is most critical to global trends) on the subject."ᵊohn F. Copper, Rhodes College -- "This book is well written and well organized and will appeal to students, scholars, and practitioners. It is a clear, balanced, and timely volume that will be considered a 'must read' by anyone with an interest in Chinese politics and global politics. A solid work."ᵄennis V. Hickey, Missouri State University -- In this collection, International Governance, Regimes, and Globalization, the writers explore international relations and globalization from the perspectives of Beijing and Taipei and in the framework of international/global governance theory. With the rise of civil society at both national and international levels, applying international/global governance theory better approximates reality than previous paradigms in the field, because scholars must consider the more complex non-state-sponsored dimensions of international relations alongside those of the state. --Book Jacket. |
