Ultimate Economic Conflict between China and Democratic Countries: An Institutional Analysis

This book investigates various dimensions of the economic conflicts between the US – and other democratic market-economy countries – and state-capitalist communist China in the past decade, examining how differences in institutions and ideology bring these about.

Through the lens of institutional analysis, the book elaborates and explains the underlying institutional designs and reasons behind the disputes, highlighting how such variances are embedded and reflect fundamental value divergences between China and other democratic countries.

This book will be of key interest to scholars, students, and practitioners in law, economics, political sciences, international relations, international organisations and global governance.
