Examining both the theory and practice of human rights in China,
this Handbook provides an important analysis of rights in China in
comparison to international standards and China's international
engagements concerning human rights. A wide range of civil and
political, social and economic, and group rights in China are
explored from an interdisciplinary perspective. Contributions
provide a comprehensive and critical insight to the topic,
examining the traditions behind modern human rights in China right
up to contemporary issues such as the rise of the Internet and
LGBTQ rights that are now at the forefront of attention across the
globe. The Handbook also explores human rights in Greater China,
and their relationship to rights in mainland China. Each chapter
develops arguments surrounding significant issues, together
revealing a complex reality where human rights recognition and
protections are intertwined with Party-state programs and
priorities, modes of governance and the demand for social and
political stability. A vital read for international human rights
academics and practitioners, this Handbook examines a thorough
range of aspects of human rights in China. It would also be a
useful read for international relations and Chinese studies
scholars, as well as those with a keen interest in modern China.
