N2  - "Chinas historic accession to the World Trade Organization (WTO) in November 2001 not only represents an important milestone in the countrys transition to a market economy and integration into the global economy, but is also among the most important events in the history of the WTO and the multilateral trading system. China and Global Trade Governance: Chinas First Decade in the World Trade Organization provides us with some fresh empirical data to assess the countrys behaviour in the liberal international economic regime. Such an assessment is both timely and necessary as it can help us better understand Chinas role in the evolving structure of global economic governance, in addition to shedding light on the broader debate about the implications of the rise of China for the international system.

In doing so, this project speaks directly to the following questions raised by Chinas unprecedented ascent in the international system: Is China a rule maker, rule follower, or rule breaker in international regimes? Is Beijing a responsible stakeholder capable of making positive contributions to global trade governance in the long-term?
