China's Foreign Trade Policy: The New Constituencies (Routledge Contemporary China) (Routledge Contemporary China Series) Book

Chinaâ??s rise as a major trading power has prompted debate about the nature of that countryâ??s involvement in the liberal international economic order. Chinaâ??s Foreign Trade Policy sheds light on this complex question by examining the changing domestic forces shaping Chinaâ??s foreign trade relations. Specifically, this book explores the evolving trade policymaking process in China by looking at: Chinaâ??s WTO accession negotiation Chinaâ??s bilateral trade disputes The development of Chinaâ??s antidumping regime Chinaâ??s emerging trade disputes in the WTO. In addition, Ka Zeng examines how lobbying patterns in China are becoming more open and pluralistic, with bureaucratic agencies, sectoral interests, regional interests, and even transnational actors increasingly able to influence the process and outcome of Chinaâ??s trade negotiations. Using case studies of Chinaâ??s trade disputes with its major trading partners, as well as Chinaâ??s participation in the dispute settlement process of the World Trade Organization, to present an in-depth analysis of Chinaâ??s trade relations, this book will appeal to students and scholars of international political economy, Chinese politics and foreign policy, and more generally Asian studies.Read More
