Description: "Why do international orders lack systemic legitimacy? This study examines the developing relationship between the US and China and explores the ways in which these two global powers are transitioning to a new global order, albeit one with significant risks and uncertainties for governance and legitimacy. Terhalle argues that the financial crisis of 2008/09 established China as the key challenger to the United States amid a process of order transition.
