ACCESS WORKING PAPER HERE<\/a>.<\/p>\n

ABSTRACT: HU Angang, one of this generation\u2019s most influential academic thinkers, has applied his considerable analytic skills to theorize the future of China in his most recent book, China in 2020: A New Type of Superpower. The book represents an effort to add authoritative Chinese voices to the Western debates about China, written to observe China as an insider, to understand China as a researcher, to forecast China\u2019s future as a participant in its evolution, and as a scholar of the era following Deng Xiaoping, to help construct China. This review will consider HU\u2019s analysis from two perspectives. The first focuses on the contextual perspective of the historical development and future path of the People\u2019s Republic of China. The second focuses on the theoretical perspective, analyzing the framework within which strong state influences will be structured increasingly in this century. This review is divided into three broad sections. Part A of this review starts with a short assessment of the framing context within which it was produced for Western audiences. Part B then turns to the heart of Hu Angang\u2019s work. Critical attention will be placed on the theoretical framework developed in the bookend chapters. Part C then considers the bulk of Hu\u2019s analysis \u2014 the way that framework informs the opportunities and challenges in economics, population management, environmental, organizational and other key respects. To understand those challenges for China, one must also to understand the challenges for the proper practice and development of the Chinese Communist Party within China as well as on the international stage. Hu suggests here the contours of a seamless merger of domestic and internal policies grounded in China\u2019s substantive political norms, now harmonized with global internationalism.<\/p>\n

Book Review (Fabio Bassan, The Law of Sovereign Wealth Funds (Cheltenham, UK: Edward Elgar Publishing, Ltd., 2011. 171 pp.), 28(3) Banking and Finance Law Review 557-563 (2010-2011) (published 2013); earlier version at 2012 Bi-Annual Legal Report, Sovereign Wealth Fund Center (Rome, Italy) (2012).<\/h3>\n

PRE-PUBLICATION VERSION HERE: Review Essay: Taking a Step Toward a Law for Sovereign Wealth Funds<\/a><\/p>\n

ABSTRACT: Sovereign Wealth Funds are emerging as financial superpowers without a correspondingly proportionate regulatory structure. Fabio Bassan has sought to step into this gap with a proposal for a law of SWFs. He is largely successful, but he also succeeds in illuminating the road yet left to travel.\u00a0 in The Law of Sovereign Wealth Funds. Fabio Bassan has taken on a very great challenge. He would provide a legal structure for sovereign wealth fund (SWF) regulation, and simultaneously, he would interrogate the consequences of the sovereign character of projections of private power between states. But the world he describes is both unified by the logic of globalization[6] and fragmented within it. It is that tension that Dr. Bassan illuminates and seeks to bridge with increasing precision even as he develops a precise system of regulatory unification.<\/p>\n
