China has emerged in the 21st century as a sophisticated, and
sometimes contentious, actor in the United Nations Security
Council. This is evident in a range of issues, from negotiations on
Iran's nuclear program to efforts to bring peace to Darfur. Yet
China's role as a veto-holding member of the Council has been left
unexamined. How does it formulate its positions? What interests
does it seek to protect? How can the international community
encourage China to be a contributor, and not a spoiler? This book
is the first to address China's role and influence in the Security
Council. It develops a picture of a state struggling to find a way
between the need to protect its stakes in a number of 'rogue
regimes', on one hand, and its image as a responsible rising power
on the world stage, on the other. Negotiating this careful
balancing act has mixed implications, and means that whilst China
can be a useful ally in collective security, it also faces serious
constraints. Providing a window not only into China's behaviour,
but into the complex world of decision-making at the UNSC in
general, the book covers a number of important cases, including
North Korea, Iran, Darfur, Burma, Zimbabwe, Libya and Syria.
Drawing on extensive interviews with participants from China, the
US and elsewhere, this book considers not only how the world
affects China, but how China impacts the world through its
behaviour in a key international institution. As such, it will be
of great interest to students and scholars working in the fields of
Chinese politics and Chinese international relations, as well as
politics, international relations, international institutions and
diplomacy more broadly.
