Has China benefited from a fixed exchange rate and should it continue this policy considering its recent economic difficulties?

Essay Question:

Has China benefited from a fixed exchange rate and should it continue this policy considering its recent economic difficulties?

The aim of this assignment is to examine issues in international political economy. Thus, the focus of the essay should be on theories relevant to the specific assignment question (exchange rate regimes). Moreover, empirical evidence has to be included to explain and justify arguments. One key to analysing and explaining concepts in sufficient depth is for the essay to draw on the relevant literature from the reading list for the unit.
