The‘Beijing Consensus is a model of Chinese-influenced economic growth which is believed to be the best way to develop struggling economies; it emphasizes innovation and sovereignty; IPE specialists wonder whether China’s experience in economic growth can be transplanted in whole or in part to other developing states.
