Evolving Role of China in International Institutions

摘要

The U.S.-China Economic and Security Review Commission (the Commission) was established by Congress in 2000 to monitor and report to Congress on the economic and national security dimensions of the United States trade and economic ties to the Peoples Republic of China (PRC). One of the primary arenas in which the evolving nature of the U.S.-China strategic and economic relationship has played out has been in the various international and regional institutions in which one or both countries participate, as well as the bilateral or multilateral economic partnerships and relationships which each country maintains. The growing influence of China has been felt across the board on all of these stages, and this study is aimed at understanding the full implications of this growing influence. The study covers a number of issues and questions surrounding Chinas participation in international and regional institutions and forums.
