Gao, Raess, & Zeng: China and the WTO: A Twenty-Year Assessment

Henry Gao
(Singapore Management Univ.), Damian Raess (Universität Bern), & Ka Zeng (Univ. of Arkansas) have published China and the WTO: A Twenty-Year Assessment (Cambridge Univ. Press 2023). The volume is available open access. Here's the abstract:
Examining the twenty years since China acceded to the World Trade Organization, this collection provides an original, systematic assessment of the opportunities and challenges that China has presented to the WTO. Offering in-depth analyses of the 'two-way' relationship between China and the WTO, the contributions explore a range of key issues from the varied effects of WTO membership for China and the global economy to the responses of the WTO members to China's rapid economic growth. It presents diverse perspectives of leading scholars from multiple disciplines, including law, economics, political science, and international relations, as well as practical insights from senior policymakers from both China and the United States. This is an invaluable contribution to ongoing debates about the implications of the rise of China for global economic governance and enriches discussions of the wide-ranging implications of China's growing integration into the multilateral trading system, both now and in the future.
