China is now the second largest economy in the world after the United States of America and is deemed to be the most influential member of the group of leading emerging economies, the so called BRICS partnership consisting of Brazil, the Russian Federation, India, China and South Africa.

Studying China’S International Finance And Policy: A Speech Given At The University Of Richmond School Of Law, William B. Brown
Richmond Journal of Global Law & Business

The Creation Of A Global Competition Regime. Where Exactly Do The Obstacles Lie–Practical Co-Operation Or Ideological Differences?, Mervyn Martin
Richmond Journal of Global Law & Business
There has been considerable interest in the creation of a global competition regime in the WTO since its conception. It is an issue that has always emerged in the forum’s agenda, and yet, more than ten years later, the international trading system has been unable to agree on a global competition framework. Notwithstanding the current agreement to hold any framework negotiations in abeyance to enable the Doha Round negotiations to proceed, two interesting conclusions can be drawn. First of all, that the agreement pertains only to negotiation related discussions and not discussions per-se on the issue of competition. This would …

Richmond Journal of Global Law & Business
Corporate governance scandals in America have focused public attention once again on global governance issues.
