  • Summary

    Chapter 6 parses the explanatory factors that account role as a constrainer and taker in the human rights regime.It also explores Beijing’s cooperation with other-like minded countries as a secondary influence on its behavior.It argues that the two most prominent explanatory variables were the CCP-government’s antipathy for scrutiny of its record and its preexisting ideas that stressed state sovereignty and local conditions, which caused Beijing to take positions that limited the authority and scope of the human rights regime.At the same time, I show that image concerns had an important restraining effect, inclining the PRC toward more cooperative stances.
