Produktbeschreibung

Since the Tiananmen Square incident in 1989 there has been increasing international pressure on China to improve its approach to human rights, whilst at the same time the Chinese government has itself realised the need to improve, and has done much to implement improvements. This book explores the international engagement in human rights in China and assesses the impact of foreign involvement. It looks considers the processes by which international pressure is brought to bear and the processes by which improvements are implemented in China, and concludes that, whilst China's human rights record has improved more than many realise, further improvements are still needed.
