China and Global Economic Governance, Volume I: China's BRI & AIIB and Global Economic Governance

A novel, pressing, and challenging issue has emerged in international political economy in recent decades following the rapid rise of Chinese economic power, that is, how to accommodate China as a new economic superpower within the existing structure of global economic governance. This has become not only a highly contentious geopolitical and geoeconomic issue that is complicating already complex relations between major powers, particularly between China and the USA but also a heated issue of scholarly debate in the academia. It is within this context that the editors have decided to collect some relevant articles on this topic that have been published in some of Springer Nature's journals in recent years and turn them into two edited volumes under the title of China and Global Economic Governance.

Volume I explores how China's two initiatives of the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) and the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank (AIIB) have been bringing implications on geopolitics and geoeconomics in general and on global economic governance in particular. Volume II examines how China's active engagement in the BRICS, the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO), and the Group of 20 (G20) has helped shape the development of these groupings and impacted not only geopolitics and geoeconomics at both regional and global levels but also global economic governance
