This book was released on 2019-07-30 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What explains China's response to intervention at the UN Security Council? China and Intervention at the UN Security Council argues that status is an overlooked determinant in understanding its decisions, even in the apex cases that are shadowed by a public discourse calling for foreign-imposed regime change in Sudan, Libya, and Syria. It posits that China reconciles its status dilemma as it weighs decisions to intervene: seeking recognition from both its intervention peer groups of great powers and developing states. Understanding the impact and scope conditions of status answers why China has taken certain positions regarding intervention and how these positions were justified. Foreign policy behavior that complies with status, and related social factors like self-image and identity, means that China can select policy options bearing material costs. China and Intervention at the UN Security Council offers a rich study of Chinese foreign policy, going beyond works available in breadth and in depth. It draws on an extensive collection of data, including over two hundred interviews with UN officials and Chinese foreign policy elites, participant observation at UN Headquarters, and a dataset of Chinese-language analysis regarding foreign-imposed regime change and intervention. The book concludes with new perspectives on the malleability of China's core interests, insights about the application of status for cooperation and the implications of the status dilemma for rising powers.

Download or read book Chinese Diplomacy and the UN Security Council written by Joel Wuthnow and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013 with total page 233 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.

Download or read book The UN Security Council written by David Malone and published by Lynne Rienner Publishers. This book was released on 2004 with total page 764 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The nature and scope of UN Security Council decisions - significantly changed in the post-Cold War era - have enormous implications for the conduct of foreign policy. The UN Security Council offers a comprehensive view of the council both internally and as a key player in world politics. Focusing on the evolution of the council's treatment of key issues, the authors discuss new concerns that must be accommodated in the decisionmaking process, the challenges of enforcement, and shifting personal and institutional factors. Case studies complement the rich thematic chapters. The book sheds much-needed light on the central events and trends of the past decade and their critical importance for the future role of the council and the UN in the sphere of international security.

Download or read book Foreign imposed Regime Change and Intervention in Chinese Foreign Policy at the UN Security Council written by Courtney J. Fung and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 33 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This working paper builds upon an emerging literature regarding sensitivity to foreign-imposed regime change in Chinese foreign policy. I argue here that China’s misgivings about foreign-imposed regime change affect China’s response to intervention at the UN Security Council also. First, the paper establishes the connection between regime change and intervention at the UN Security Council. Next, the paper categorizes why Chinese scholars and policymakers deride regime change using an analysis of Chinese-language sources. Last, the article draws on recent UN Security Council cases of intervention to reflect on the practical implications of China’s sensitivity to regime change for its engagement in UN Security Council-led intervention.

Download or read book The Positions of Russia and China at the UN Security Council in the Light of Recent Crises written by and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 35 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 2011/12 China and Russia cast three vetoes in the Security Council against UN intervention in Syria to prevent government forces suppressing less well-armed oppositionists. This seemed to run counter to the willingness of these states to accept UN intervention in Libya at the beginning of 2011. How should this be explained? It also raised questions about the likely Russian and Chinese response to a possible worsening of the confrontation between the Security Council and Iran over its presumed nuclear programme. The answers derive from the posture of these two states towards the role of the UN in global governance generally, as well as their particular strategic concerns in the UNSC. There are apparent contradictions between the policies of the two states, as well as common threads. Russo-Chinese relations in the UNSC are also structured by the wider context of relations in the General Assembly, and by the efforts by both governments to promote a thickening as well as a harmonisation of foreign policies. But there are significant limitations on the likely extent of that harmonisation.

Download or read book Harmonious Intervention written by Chiung-Chiu Huang and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-04-22 with total page 291 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Two major features of international relations at the beginning of the 21st century are global governance and the rise of China. Global governance, advocating global norms, requires intervention into sovereign domains in defiance of those norms. However, an ascendant China adheres to a classic stance on sovereign integrity which prohibits such intervention. Whether or not China will ultimately Sinicize global governance or become assimilated into global norms remains both a theoretical and a practical challenge. Both challenges come from China’s alternative style of global governance, which embodies the doctrine of 'balance of relationship,' in contrast with the familiar international relations embedded in ’balance of power’ or ’balance of interest.’ An understanding of China’s intervention policy based upon the logic of balance of relationship is therefore the key to tackling the anxiety precipitated by these theoretical as well as practical challenges.

Download or read book Bargaining in the UN Security Council written by Susan Allen and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2022-02-14 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Even after seventy-five years, the UN Security Council meets nearly every day. They respond to a range of threats to international peace and security, but not all threats. Why does the Security Council take up some issues for discussion and not others? What factors shape the Council's actions, if they take any action at all? Adapting insights from legislative bargaining, this book demonstrates that the agenda-setting powers granted in the institutional rules offer less powerful Council members the opportunity to influence the content of a resolution without jeopardizing its passage. The Council also decides when to conduct public or private diplomacy. The analysis shows how external factors like international and domestic public reactions motivate grandstanding behaviors and shape resolutions. New quantitative data on meetings and outside options provide support for these claims. The book also explores the dynamics of the formal analysis in three cases: North Korean nuclear proliferation, the negotiations leading up to NATO bombing in Serbia over Kosovo, and the elected member-led process to codify the principles of the Responsibility to Protect doctrine. The book argues that while the powerful veto members do have great influence over the Council, the rules of the most consequential security institution influence its policy outcomes, just as they do in any other international institution.

Download or read book China the UN and Human Protection written by Rosemary Foot and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2020-05-28 with total page 325 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.

Download or read book China As Nuclear Power and Its Un Security Council Membership written by Manuel Irman and published by GRIN Verlag. This book was released on 2011-11 with total page 29 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Seminar paper from the year 2011 in the subject Politics - International Politics - Topic: International Organisations, grade: 1,0 (CH: 6,0), University of Zurich (Institut für Politikwissenschaft), course: Seminar "International Politics of East Asia", language: English, abstract: Since 1964, the People's Republic of China (PRC) is a nuclear power and its government increasingly became the internationally acknowledged and legitimate bearer of power. In 1971, the PRC replaced the Taiwanese representatives in the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) and the United Nations Security Council (UNSC). The PRC is now one of five permanent members in the UNSC and seemingly holds this status due to its possession of nuclear weapons. Thus, is it true that China's permanent UNSC-membership stalls improvements in complying with disarmament and non-proliferation policies? George Tsebelis' theory (Veto Players) supports the finding of an answer.

Book excerpt: The study examines the contours of a growing Chinese influence in the United Nations Security Council (UNSC) and seeks to establish the reasons for its varied cooperation with the other permanent members of the Council. It attempts to extract patterns of foreign policy behaviour and looks beyond the array of apparently inconsistent reactions embedded in broader political relationships. Several questions are raised: What can help to explain the variance in China's mixed cooperativeness in the Council and what does the answer suggest about the constraints on the other members in the UNSC? What consequences may arise if China's actions are based on a set of values and national interests different from those of the major Western powers? Could China's attitude disrupt the traditional working and normative practice of the United Nations?
