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. 610 20 $a United Nations $z China. 610 27 $a United Nations. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00530351 651 0 $a China $x Foreign relations $y 1949- 650 0 $a Human rights. 650 0 $a Human rights $z China. 650 0 $a World politics $y 1945-1989. 650 0 $a World politics $y 1989- 650 7 $a Diplomatic relations. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01907412 650 7 $a Human rights. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00963285 650 7 $a World politics. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01181381 651 7 $a China. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01206073 648 7 $a Since 1945 $2 fast 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20220526013901.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=A51D92CEFFE911EBB6EAFDEE22ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
