It surveys how the key themes in IPE such as the conceptualization of power at the global level, the problems of order and international organization, the role of the state, money and finance, and the source of ideas and ideational innovation, have been debated in Chinese IPE in comparison to the foundational works of the West. This book was originally published as a special issue of the Review of International Political Economy.
