Review

'I see this Handbook as a reference work for those who wish to understand China's expanding role in development projects around the world and the motivations and implications of these interventions. The set of authors who contribute to the book not only present instigating insights but also generate deep reflections that can sustain a research agenda with China as a central actor.' -- Alexandre Cesar Cunha Leite, Progress in Development Studies'China's rise transforms its interactions with other developing countries in multiple ways. This volume offers a valuable introduction to this transformation from diverse perspectives.' -- Justin Yifu Lin, Peking University, China'China will inevitably become the number one power in the world. In purchasing power parity terms, its economy is already number one. Increasingly, more and more developing countries are hitching their wagons to China's economic locomotive. Hence, this volume addresses a key dimension of our new global order. It could not be more timely or more relevant for both academics and policymakers.' -- Kishore Mahbubani, National University of Singapore and author, The Great Convergence: Asia, the West and the Logic of One World'China's emergence as an economic and trading superpower is one of the dominant stories of our time, and its ties with other developing countries are an underappreciated part of this story. In 2011 China was the main trading partner of 124 different countries, most of which are developing. This handbook fills an essential gap in the literature on China's rise, examining China's relations with different regions and how these are reshaping global institutions from UN peace-keeping to IMF fire-fighting. This is an essential resource for the study of China and the global order.' -- David Dollar, China Center, Brookings Institution
