The Dragon's Emerging Order
Sino-centric Multilateralism And Global Responses
Book • 2025
The Dragon's Emerging Order, edited by Joel Ng, surveys China’s recent global governance initiatives—such as the Global Governance, Security, and Development Initiatives—and regional formats like BRI, BRICS, and SCO. The book compiles essays assessing how these initiatives function in practice, focusing on China’s aims, the institutional forms it uses, and responses from states across the Global South and beyond.
Contributors analyze whether China seeks to replace existing post‑war institutions or instead pursues narrower strategic interests through convening mechanisms.
The volume emphasizes empirical examination of China’s formats and their appeal to developing countries, exploring implications for the UN system and regional orders.
It is framed to clarify misconceptions about China’s ambitions and the limits of its multilateral projects.
