China’s Involvement in Global Governance

As China’s national comprehensive power, capabilities, and international ambitions have grown, its foreign policy has also overcome transformation to also include the goal to expand China's participation in global governance. In its involvement in global governance, from its very establishment in 1949 the PRC has gone through six major stages. From alienation and distancing itself from the international system and global governance in 1950s through 1970s, China has turned to fully integrate itself into the international system by 2001, and eventually to become a great power seeking to not only promote the reform of global governance but to lead this reform. The article identifies and characterizes major stages in China's involvement in global governance over the past seven decades, and pays special attention to China’s post 2008 world economic and financial crisis’ foreign policy.
