This book examines the shifting dynamics of global trade governance in an era of uncertainty. Michael Sampson introduces a new framework to explain why rising powers like China have favoured flexible, low-detail agreements, while relatively declining powers such as Japan seek comprehensive deals to preserve influence.

Drawing on original analysis of trade arrangements, the book highlights how these competing strategies fuel conflict over institutions like the World Trade Organization and shape the future of international cooperation. The insights drawn are vital for scholars and policy makers navigating today’s fractured trade landscape.

Michael Sampson is Assistant Professor of International Relations at the Institute of Political Science at Leiden University, the Netherlands.
