China, Trust and Digital Supply Chains
Routledge (Verlag)
978-1-032-02683-1 (ISBN)
The work challenges the ‘trust’ trope that dominates much discussion of blockchain technology’s application. It argues, contrary to the predominant trust trope, that blockchain is not about trust at all. It shows that China’s re-imagining of the 21st century global order is premised on driving intensified cross-border economic interactions without the presupposition of trust, and blockchain technology makes that possible. It also explores the paradox of technological decentralisation being taken up with vigour by a centralist polity, the role of blockchain technology as a critical condition of existence for the successful globalisation of China’s digital currency initiative, and the need to devise governance institutions that are multilateral in nature, to reflect the multi-polar nature of decentralised information systems with domestic and cross-border permutations.
This book is of significant interest to readers of political economy, public policy, blockchain technology and Chinese studies.
Warwick Powell is Adjunct Professor at Queensland University of Technology, Australia.
