"The book offers a comprehensive overview of China’s role in global governance – atopic of increasing interest among academic and policy communities... The book is a valuable reference for international relations students and scholars as well as policy consultants with a special interest in China. It is easy to read and it outlines the contours of global governance – a complicated topic for those new to the field of international relations." - Bill Chou, University of Macau; China Information 2012 26: 377."Gerald Chan, Pak K. Lee and Lai-Ha Chan’s "China Engages Global Governance: A New World Order in the Making?" provides valuable insights …with comprehensive and innovative investigation of China’s involvement in global governance, which is defined as "how global problems are handled and how global order and stability can be ensured, in the absence of an overarching authority or world government to regulate" China Engages Global Governance proves to be a timely study that illuminates China’s present globalization focus and efforts within an increasingly borderless world. Its focus on food safety serves as an excellent example of its well-timed publication. If one pays close attention to China’s recent socio-economic happenings, one would recognize food safety as one of the primary concerns in public health." - Jinhua Li, University of North Carolina Asheville
