This book investigates how China has navigated and influenced the United Nations' human protection agenda since the end of the Cold War. Rosemary Foot, a distinguished scholar of international relations, examines the tension between China's traditional emphasis on state sovereignty and its evolving role as a participant in global humanitarian norms. By analyzing China's diplomatic behavior, the author argues that the state utilizes the UN as a site for image construction, aiming to project itself as a responsible global power while maintaining its core ideological preferences.
