Summary

Trade has become a flashpoint of conflict between the US and China. This book analyzes a critical aspect of their growing rivalry: their battle over the international rules and institutions governing trade. China's rise has significantly weakened American control over global trade institutions and its power to write the rules of global trade.

Additional text

'If you are interested in who rules and who sets the rules in global trade, why China and the United States are at loggerheads with one-another, and what the future holds, Clash of Powers is your next must read. Hopewell's tome is pithy, provocative, and insightful - precisely the kind of book that only deep engagement and clear understanding can produce.'
