A world transformed explored in new book

Essam Sharaf, former Prime Minister of Egypt

Our world is facing unprecedented challenges that threaten rule-based global governance and the multilateralism mechanisms. I believe that this book provides vital information on the current international system and how it is changing, and the significant role of China in this suspect. The book also includes a very important section on the Belt and Road Initiative, which is considered as the main mechanism for boosting international cooperation. And finally, the book title and the outstanding caliber of the author make me sure that the book is a valuable addition to the state of the art.

Peter Koenig, former World Bank economist

China will continue to vouch for strong macroeconomic growth - and pledge assistance for those that are suffering the most during this pandemic-induced crisis - in view of a balanced development of all countries.

There is no place in this world for large countries dominating smaller ones, or for economic threatening and sanctions, nor for economic isolation. China is pursuing a global free trade economy. But - and this is important - when one talks of "globalism" - respect for political and fiscal sovereignty of nations, must be maintained.

Wang Wen, Executive Dean of Chongyang Institute for Financial Studies at Renmin University of China

The book brings Türk's new thinking on global development with positive insights for readers to deepen their understanding of the international system and China.

Dominique de Villepin, former prime minister of France

We often formulate our vision based on short-term judgments, but we should develop a long-term perspective based on global situation and history. Facing increasingly serious problems such as clashes of civilization, anti-globalization trend, and climate change, the international community needs to make more joint efforts to find solutions.
