Summary

In this collection, International Governance, Regimes, and Globalization, the writers explore international relations and globalization from the perspectives of Beijing and Taipei and in the framework of international/global governance theory. With the rise of civil society at both national and international levels, applying international/global governance theory better approximates reality than previous paradigms in the field, because scholars must consider the more complex non-state-sponsored dimensions of international relations alongside those of the state.
