This report provides an analysis of China's approach to multilateralism and critical reflections on the Western "rules-based international order." The report is published by the Institute of Development Studies (IDS) and edited by Anthony Carty and Jing Gu. The authors of the report argue that China's approach to multilateralism is characterized by a focus on cooperation and inclusiveness, rather than a rigid adherence to rules and norms. The report also highlights the challenges faced by the Western "rules-based international order," including its perceived lack of inclusiveness and its failure to address the needs of developing countries. Overall, the report provides valuable insights into China's approach to multilateralism and its implications for the future of the international order.
