Emerging Powers in the International Economic Order: Cooperation, Competition and Transformation

The post-war liberal economic order is crumbling, and emerging economies are seeking to shape world trade and investment law. Emerging Powers in the International Economic Order argues that resistance from the Global South and the creation of China-led alternative spaces will have some impact, but no robust alternative vision will emerge.

The post-war liberal economic order appears to be faltering, ushering the world into a critical juncture. China has risen to prominence as a formidable force, and other emerging economies are eager to assert their influence in shaping global trade and investment law. Could they unite to mount a comprehensive challenge to the existing rules and institutions? In Emerging Powers in the International Economic Order, Sonia E. Rolland and David M. Trubek argue that resistance from the Global South and the emergence of China-led alternative spaces will exert some impact, although a robust alternative vision remains elusive. While significant legal innovations from the South deviate from the mainstream neoliberal model, these countries are driven by pragmatism and strategic self-interest rather than a shared ideological orientation, and their goals do not extend to dismantling the current order entirely. In this thought-provoking book, Rolland and Trubek envision a more pluralistic world that straddles the continuation of neoliberalism and a complete departure from it.
