The launch event and signing ceremony for the English version of Human Destiny: Institutional Governance for international publishing cooperation was held at the London Book Fair on March 12 local time.

During the event, Jia Qiuya, vice president of the Foreign Languages Press, introduced the project and the publication of the book. He emphasized that the English version serves as both an academic response to China's active engagement in global governance reforms and an academic practice for promoting cultural exchange by the Foreign Languages Press.

Author Crystal Wang highlighted that her works, including this latest book and its predecessor Human Destiny: A Brief History of Governance, stem from profound reflections on critical periods in human civilization's evolution. She stressed the need for a scientific, forward-looking theoretical framework in addressing governance, a critical concern in understanding human destiny.

In Human Destiny: Institutional Governance, the focus lies on human institutional governance, tracing the journey "from the birth of nations to the evolution of global national institutional governance". The book meticulously examines historical shifts, global governance dynamics, and the trajectory of human destiny.

This book explores the logic and laws of human world development, constructing a systematic framework from fragmented and episodic historical accounts, suggesting future development paths of human society from the institutional level.
