China in the un security council: the dynamics of change at the beginning of a new millenium

Abstract

The study examines the contours of a growing Chinese influence in the United Nations Security Council (UNSC) and seeks to establish the reasons for its varied cooperation with the other permanent members of the Council. It attempts to extract patterns of foreign policy behavior and looks beyond the array of apparently inconsistent reactions embedded in broader political relationships. Several questions are raised: What can help to explain the variance in China’s mixed cooperativeness in the Council and what does the answer suggest about the constraints on the other members in the UNSC? What consequences may arise if China’s actions are based on a set of values and national interests different from those of the major Western powers? Could China’s attitude disrupt the traditional working and normative practice of the United Nations?
