China, the United States, and Global Order awarded Favorite Read of 2011

Congratulations to Professor Rosemary Foot, whose book - China, the United States, and Global Order, co-authored by Dr Andrew Walter (LSE) - was awared Favorite Read of 2011 by US magazine Foreign Policy.

A reviewer writes: One does not have to dig very deep into foreign-policy punditry to find the belief that the question of the next decade is how world order will adapt to a waxing China and a waning United States. Will China embrace, reject, or simply ignore the set of pre-existing global norms? Will the United States continue to assert its privilege in setting global norms, or will it retreat into unilateralism?Beyond the punditry, very few scholars have bothered to look systematically at how both of these countries interact with global governance norms and structures. Rosemary Foot and Andrew Waltertackle the general question of Sino-American interactions with global rules and norms in a rigorous and informative manner,discussing issues as diverse as nonproliferation and financial regulation with a degree of empirical sophistication that borders on the astonishing.Foot and Walter have produced a must-read for anyone interested in the future of global governance.
