This book offers a long-overdue, balanced, and objective perspective on China’s transformation from a constrained economy in the late 1970s to a leading global power in 2024.

It examines the political motivations behind China’s rise through a detailed contextualisation of the reforms and opening-up policies of Deng Xiaoping, its governing principles, and the implications of its ascent for the world.

For readers interested in China’s evolution over the past 50 years, this book is a valuable resource for policymakers, business professionals, academics, and students of contemporary Chinese studies, international relations, global political economy, and governance.

Chandran Nair is the founder and CEO of the Global Institute for Tomorrow, an independent Pan-Asian think tank that explores the dynamic relationship among business, society, and the state, as well as the rules governing global capitalism. Jorgen Randers is Professor Emeritus of Climate Strategy at the Norwegian Business School, specialising in climate issues, scenario analysis, and system dynamics. Jinfeng Zhou is Secretary-General of the China Biodiversity and Green Development Foundation. Frederick Charles Dubee has an extensive background in international education, development, and strategy. He joined the UN in 2000 as Senior Officer and later Senior Advisor for the UN Global Compact.
