China and the International Human Rights Regime
«'The role of human rights in China's foreign policy has never been more important. In this book, Rana Siu Inboden provides a path-breaking and definitive examination of China's interaction with the international human rights regime. This should be required reading for scholars, analysts, and policymakers seeking to understand China's role in the world today.' M. Taylor Fravel, Massachusetts Institute of Technology»
Rana Siu Inboden examines China's role in the international human rights regime between 1982 and 2017 and, through this lens, explores China's rising position in the world. Focusing on three major case studies – the drafting and adoption of the Convention against Torture and the Optional Protocol to the Convention against Torture, the establishment of the UN Human Rights Council, and the International Labour Organization's Conference Committee on the Application of Standards – Inboden shows China's subtle yet persistent efforts to constrain the international human rights regime.

Rana Siu Inboden brings a policymaker's practiced eye and a scholar's rigor to a historical survey that will challenge us all to rethink our strategies towards China and international human rights organizations alike.'
