Over the coming decades, no two countries will have a greater impact on the global economic order—the system of institutions, rules, and norms that govern international economic affairs. A global economy that delivers strong, sustainable, balanced, and inclusive growth will depend on such a well-managed order. More than ever before, Washington and Beijing must work together to identify potential areas of cooperation, as well as manage our differences. It is this collaborative mission that has inspired the deep and productive relationship between our two institutions, the Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS) and the Shanghai Institutes for International Studies (SIIS), for many years. Since 2015, we have cohosted the U.S.-China Dialogue on the Global Economic Order, a track 1.5 dialogue that has sought to build mutual trust, enhance communication, identify issues, and propose solutions. The series of semiannual workshops, alternating between Beijing and Washington, has covered a wide range of topics across the global economic order including trade, investment, finance, and climate change. The dialogue has drawn scholars, former policymakers, and current officials from the United States and China across a wide range of institutions and disciplines. This essay collection harvests some of the rich bounty of our two-year dialogue. Scholars from the United States and China have contributed parallel essays presenting their respective positions on a wide variety of topics in the global economic order. We hope that this collection will generate new ideas that scholars, policymakers, and citizens in both countries can use to solve the most urgent problems in the global economy. John J. Hamre Chen Dongxiao President and CEO President CSIS SIIS Parallel Perspectives on the Global Economic Order | V Acknowledgments In November 2015, CSIS formally launched the U.S.-China Dialogue on the Global Economic Order in partnership with the Shanghai Institutes for International Studies (SIIS). The dialogue has since held four workshops—two in Beijing in the fall of 2015 and 2016, and two in Washington in the spring of 2016 and 2017. We would like to thank the U.S. and Chinese workshop participants who generously gave us their time and insights, and who, directly and indirectly, have helped shape these essays. The contents of the essays reflect the views of the authors themselves, and not of other workshop participants, their institutions, or CSIS and SIIS. Several members of the CSIS staff contributed to the production of this essay collection. Daniel Remler provided a steady hand as chief editor. Elizabeth Keller provided tireless coordination and administrative support throughout the process. David Parker provided invaluable drafting and research support. Casey Rothberg and Eva Zhang contributed considerable time and energy to the final manuscript. Finally, we would like to thank Ye Yu of SIIS for her constant support in coordinating both the dialogue and the essay collection. The dialogue and this essay collection were made possible by the generous support of the Carnegie Corporation of New York (CCNY). We are especially grateful to Stephen Del Rosso and Aaron Stanley, for their confidence in us and for their commitment to scholarly dialogue between the United States and China. Matthew P. Goodman William E. Simon Chair in Political Economy CSIS VI | CSIS and SIIS Introduction: The United States, China, and the Global Economic Order in 2017 Kevin Nealer International polling and the politics of the past year both suggest a high level of anxiety among global populations about personal and economic security, as well as the impact of globalization. Participants in the U.S.-China Dialogue on the Global Economic Order have sought to put the U.S. and Chinese economies in proper perspective and to understand the responsibility of the world’s two largest economies in promoting stable global development, while expanding opportunities for their populations at a time of unparalleled technological change. Despite real concerns about the impact of globalization on both countries, the United States and China benefit from generally consistent and successful policies, favorable economic fundamentals, and a shared commitment

  • China's Assertive Foreign Policy Strategy. Insights from the 19Th
    China’s Assertive Foreign Policy Strategy. Insights from the 19th Party Congress Alejandra Peña During the last three decades of the twentieth century, the world has witnessed the rise of China in the global economy. The “reform and opening - up” policy (Gaige kaifang 改革开放) introduced in the late 1970s by Deng Xiaoping, drove the country to three decades of double-digit economic growth and the transition of a rural and isolated China into a $11 trillion economy. A deep restructuration of the political order after Mao Zedong’s death and the implementation of unprecedented economic policies laid the foundations that would turn China into the world’s second-largest economy. China’s accession to the World Trade Organization (WTO) in 2001 was the catalyst for its conclusive opening to the free market and its positioning as a significant actor in the global economy. Rising from the sixth position in the 2001 global ranking to the third in 2007, and the second in 2010, China shifted from a regional economy to a global one after its WTO’s accession. In light of this, China’s economic growth has been cataloged by the World Bank as the “fastest sustained expansion by a major economy in history”1. Since Xi Jinping’s ascendance to power, a “new era” on the path of China’s rise as a global power was established. His speech at the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China (CPC) recalls the fact that China has placed itself in a perfect position to translate its economic growth into political strength and leverage.

  • A New Era in EU-China Relations: More Wide- Ranging Strategic Cooperation?
    STUDY A new era in EU-China relations: more wide- ranging strategic cooperation? Policy Department for External Relations Author: Anna SAARELA EN Directorate General for External Policies of the Union DIRECTORATE-GENERAL FOR EXTERNAL POLICIES POLICY DEPARTMENT STUDY A new era in EU-China relations: more wide- ranging strategic cooperation? Author: Anna SAARELA ABSTRACT China is an important strategic partner for the EU, despite fundamental divergences in some areas, mostly related to state intervention and fundamental human rights. The partnership offers mutually beneficial cooperation and dialogue in areas ranging from investment and transport to human rights and cybersecurity. China is navigating in new directions, guided by Xi Jinping's 'Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era’. Despite President Xi’s repeated avowals that 'the market will have a decisive role', public ownership remains the mainstay of the Chinese economy, whereas profound reforms would be needed to tackle the root causes of overcapacity in various industrial sectors. Xi's ‘Belt and Road Initiative’, now also included in the Constitution, is the flagship international connectivity and infrastructure programme dominated by Chinese state-owned companies. Overall, China’s crucial, but complex transition towards more sustainable growth would eventually benefit both, China and the world as a whole. Global economic interdependence, however, makes certain spill-over effects of China’s rebalancing unavoidable. China plays a pivotal role in global governance and the rules-based international order, and this comes with responsibilities. Beijing has begun to shift away from the narrow pursuit of national aims towards a more assertive foreign and security policy, and increased financial, economic and security cooperation with a global outreach.

  • China and Its Role in G20
    China and Its Role in G20 Internship Paper Adhya Moona Supervisor Dr. Priyadarshi Dash July 2018 China and Its Role in G20 Abstract This paper attempts to understand the role of the Peoples Republic of China in the international forum of G20. This can be seen as an extremely popular topic within the realm of international relations mainly because China has the military and economic might, and a nation that the world and scholars believe is capable of challenging the hegemony of the United States of America. This paper has raised several rhetorical questions and calls out for further research in trying to understand China’s current position in the economic global governance. Furthermore, it is important to address the question of the institutionalisation of the G20 and what all steps can be taken to increase its efficiency and legitimacy. International affairs are at its peak of being contingent in nature especially after the change of the regime in the United States; this has changed the global ball game in various aspects. Whilst discussing the strategies pursued by China during the Hangzhou Summit in 2016, this paper has also shed some light on certain challenges that the nation came across while hosting this summit. This paper has also covered China as a part of BRICS and what relationship it shares with its allies along with the countries in the African continent. Furthermore, the paper attempts to understand the importance of the Chinese Yuan, but due to the ongoing trade war between US and China, this subject needs in-depth research and empirical observation.
