Assessing China and EU Relations in the New Global Economic Order

Report drafted by Julia Kreienkamp and Dr Tom Pegram, UCL Global Governance Institute. 

Global economic governance is in flux. Observers are scrambling to understand the contours of both the familiar and the novel in an unsettled global economic order, placing particular attention on the changing balance of power between advanced and emerging economies, as well as public and private sources of authority. With the major global economic institutions beset by gridlock, geopolitical conflict and retreat into protectionism, what should be the priorities for future research in this area? This paper offers some reflections, focusing in particular on the roles and interrelationships of two of the major players in global economic governance: China and the European Union.
