This book analyzes China's development in the wider context of the
global trade, investment, security, knowledge and production
regimes established by the United States. It argues that, although
China has thus far been able to enjoy rapid growth within this
global architecture, it will have to deal with a more challenging
external environment as other states react to its rise. More
specifically, it is facing growing pressure to realign its
currency, a greater number of trade investment and intellectual
property disputes, a more hostile security environment, and
exclusionary regional trans-Pacific and trans-Atlantic trade
agreements. It is also being confronted by an array of internal
issues, from an ageing population and weaknesses in the high tech
sector, to over-reliance on foreign companies for exports,
non-performing loans and a burgeoning state debt. This, in turn,
has led an increasing number of firms to relocate to other
countries. For the time being, the author concludes, China's global
ambitions and challenge to US supremacy will have to be scaled
back. This insightful work will appeal to students and scholars of
China's politics, economy and development.

This title explains the causes of the financial crisis and the
economic reforms that were created subsequently through a
Foucauldian philosophical lens. The author sets out the approaches
established by Foucault - namely governmentality, biopolitics and
disciplinary mechanisms - explaining how these influenced the shift
of production from a local to a global level, alongside a shift
towards financialisation. Glenn applies Foucauldian principles to
aid understanding of the self-corrective mechanisms applied to the
financial system, and the interpellative processes that led to the
emergence of a new mode of subjectification. Concurrently, this
title examines the retreat of the state from the financial sphere.
This shift, the author posits, did not mean the complete absence of
governance; rather governance became more concerned with ensuring
that financial behaviour was contained within certain limits.
