Rising Powers and Multilateral Institutions

The rise of new powers such as China and India is sending shockwaves through the global multilateral system. This volume systematically examines how 13 multilateral institutions are responding to this shift, with some deploying innovative outreach and reform activities, while others are paralyzed by gridlock or even retreat from the global scene.

Dries Lesage and Thijs Van de Graaf 's book investigates the relationship between rising powers and multilateral institutions. Unquestionably, Dries Lesage and Thijs Van de Graaf have produced an edited volume that will become required reading for anyone interested in international political economy in general and for those who seek to understand how emerging powers can change the post-Cold War international order through institutional engagement and how these institutions must adapt to them.
