Global Development and Cooperation with China, edited by CCG President Henry Huiyao Wang and Secretary-General Mable Lu Miao, combines the insights and wisdom of 26 representatives from a wide range of international organizations into a collection of 21 essays, focusing on the latest trends in four major areas—global governance, trade and economics, science and technology, and culture and exchange—providing the reader with information on the latest developments in these areas with a special focus on China and its relevant contributions.

The book is divided into three parts, starting with a look at New Concepts in Global Governance. This part examines the shifts in the global balance of power and the changes they have caused to the current models of global governance, suggesting that new concepts of global governance are needed to address the issues that we face on a number of levels as a global community.

Part two focuses on New Initiatives of Growth and Development with essays from organizations that cover a wide range of sectors and experiences, on expanded financing and capacity building, the Belt and Road Initiative, international trading system, addressing protectionism, new models of inclusive and sustainable development, and power of technology in fostering new models of development.

The final part of this book looks at new relationships and how the world interacts today, from practical regional and global diplomacy and international aid to culture and philosophy.

In a world full of uncertainties and constant change, it is often difficult for large governments and institutions to adjust course. It is the obligation and unique mission of international organizations of all kinds to contribute new ideas, new models and new channels of communication to ensure that the world remains connected by fostering dialogue and sharing knowledge so that we can address the challenges that we all face. It is our hope that this book contributes in a small way to providing these institutions with a platform to present that knowledge as well as a resource for our readers to access valuable information that could be decisive in their decision making processes.

This book is published by Springer Nature as part of the “China and Globalization” series, which is designed to collect a wide range of global views on issues related to China and globalization, the opportunities and challenges related to China’s rise and China’s role in global governance, global economy, global development and global security. The first of its kind, this series features the works of over two hundred global contributors, seeking to create a balanced global perspective by gathering the views of highly influential opinion leaders from both China and around the world.

By offering an in-depth exploration of key themes such as multilateralism and globalization through the perspectives of think tanks across multiple continents, this book presents insights from distinguished figures in the global think tank community. These insights are translated into policies addressing common challenges.

CCG launched the CCG Global Dialogue Series with the aim of encouraging calm, rational discussion in which we can share different views and work together to make sense of the momentous changes that are occurring in our world today. The CCG Global Dialogue Series invites experts from different countries and disciplines that could help us put current events in context and explore solutions to our shared challenges. We also share these talks in book-form to provide the public with additional access to the insights shared by our speakers, compare and contrast their perspectives, and gain a greater understanding of important issues such as globalization, global governance and multilateralism, the global economy, shared transnational threats, and China-US relations.

 

The first volume of the series CCG Global Dialogues: Understanding Globalization, Global Gaps, and Power Shifts in the 21^st Century was a volume divided into three parts, with 10 dialogues between Henry Huiyao Wang, Founder and President of CCG and Graham Allison, David Blair, Kerry Brown, Anne Case, Wendy Cutler, Angus Deaton, Thomas L.

This book addresses one of the most consequential questions of the 21st century- how relations between the US and China will unfold. In the past decade, perhaps no thinker has had a greater influence on how this question is understood in both the US and China than eminent Harvard scholar Graham Allison, who developed the idea of the Thucydides’s Trap to describe the risk of war erupting between a rising power and a ruling power as the balance of power shifts. It presents a comprehensive collection of Allison’s views and writings on US-China relations from 2017 to 2022 in an accessible Q&A format, covering a range of topics including the balance of power between the two sides, where the US-China relationship is headed, and lessons from history on how conflict can be avoided.

 

 

CCG is China’s leading non-governmental think tank, the first Chinese think tank to be granted Special Consultative Status by the United Nations, and the first Chinese non-governmental think tank to become one of the world’s top 100 think tanks in the University of Pennsylvania’s Global Think Tank Index. CCG strives to connect China and the world through research and communication in areas such as global governance, trade and economy, migration and globalization.
