International Good Governance Norms between the Global and the Local: China, Transparency, and Accountability

Abstract

We are facing uncertain and rapidly changing times. Forces of globalization have accelerated with advances in technology and communication, just as resurgent authoritarian states led by China and Russia have sought to reassert the centrality of the sovereign state. The rules-based world trading order is facing challenges from isolationist and protectionist forces spearheaded by populist leaders such as President Donald Trump in the United States.
