Chinese Diplomacy And The Un Security Council (Politics In Asia)

This book is one of 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. | Author: Joel Wuthnow | Publisher: Routledge | Publication Date: Aug 04, 2015 | Number of Pages: 240 pages | Language: English | Binding: Paperback | ISBN-10: 1138120391 | ISBN-13: 9781138120396
