This research takes the viewpoints of international regime, neo-realism, neo-liberalism
and constructionism in analyzing the impact of international norms on state behaviors. The
case study focuses on the impact of the international human rights norms on China¡¦s human
rights issue. The finding of this research is that, with China¡¦s international socialization going
deeper, China is eager to join and intervene in different international regimes and
international organizations; China also regards international organization as the symbolic
expansion of state authority.
The main purpose of the international human rights norms is to promote democracy and
protect human rights all over the world. In western perspectives, China can show its
determination to obey international social norms and influnce its opinions about human rights
by joining the international human rights norms. In China¡¦s points of view, human rights is a
historic and domestic issue. The fundamental thought of the international human rights norms
is from the traditional western culture; therefore China does not accept the whole idea of such
international human rights norms.
From the interaction between China and the international human rights norms, we can
find out China totally recognizes the mainstream discourse of the international human rights
norms. With the rise of China, China tries to manipulate rather than just yield (with some
limits) to the international human rights norms.
