Over a relatively short period of time, Beijing moved from
dismissing the UN to embracing it. How are we to make sense of the
People's Republic of China's (PRC) embrace of the UN, and what does
its engagement mean in larger terms? This study focuses directly on
Beijing's involvement in one of the most contentious areas of UN
activity - human protection - contentious because the norm of human
protection tips the balance away from the UN's Westphalian
state-based profile, towards the provision of greater protection
for the security of individuals and their individual liberties. The
argument that follows shows that, as an ever-more crucial actor
within the United Nations, Beijing's rhetoric and some of its
practices are playing an increasingly important role in determining
how this norm is articulated and interpreted. In some cases, the
PRC is also influencing how these ideas of human protection are
implemented. At stake in the questions this book tackles is both
how we understand the PRC as a participant in shaping global order,
and the future of some of the core norms which constitute that
order.
