Publisher's Synopsis
The U.S.-China Economic and Security Review Commission has released a new report, "The Evolving Role of China in International Institutions," detailing China's posture, objectives, and strategies within key international institutions and exploring the implications of China's growing influence in these institutions for the United States and the world. The report finds that China has demonstrated an increasingly assertive and proactive stance within organizations such as the International Monetary Fund, the World Bank, the Asian Development Bank, APEC, the United Nations, and the Group of 20, among others. In all of these organizations, China has become increasingly effective in utilizing its influence to advance its national economic and strategic interests, especially as China emerges from the global financial crisis in a stronger economic position relative to much of the rest of the world.
