Rights Beyond Borders

The book explores the evolution of human rights discourse over the past fifty years, particularly in relation to China. It analyzes how this shift has influenced the actions of individuals, states, institutions, and advocacy networks, and examines its implications for international relations involving China. By focusing on the interplay between human rights norms and diplomatic policies, the text highlights the significant role that media and democratic values play in shaping perceptions and actions towards China on the global stage.
