Foreign-imposed regime change and intervention in Chinese foreign policy at the UN Security Council

Research output: Book/ReportOther reportpeer-review

Abstract

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.
