China and global liberalism

This book demonstrates that liberalism is more deeply embedded in the structure of modern international political economic order than is usually realized, and that at present there is a contested process of the "globalization of liberalism." As well as exploring liberalism's usefulness for understanding how international relations work, this book offers several critical perspectives on the liberal structure of modern international society, and places international liberalism in a global context by examining responses to liberalism in China, India, and the Middle East.
