China's Vertical Multilateralism and the Global South

This book examines China's vertical multilateralism as a distinctive approach to international relations and governance in the Global South.

It explores how China uses multilateral formats, elite-centered diplomacy, financial commitments, investments, and construction projects to advance its interests and vision of global governance.

The work analyzes China's relational theory of international relations and its promotion of the 'Chinese model' or 'Beijing Consensus' across various regions including Southeast Asia, Africa, Latin America, and Central and Eastern Europe.
