Throughout the post-Mao reform era, China has championed the principle of sover state control, which holds that states should not intervene in the affairs of other states. Yet, as Tim Nicholas Ruhlig argues in China's For Policy Contradictions, in recent years they have not actually acted this way. Chinese for policy actions fail to match up with official rhetoric, and these inconsistencies - in combination with China's growing power - will have dramatic effects on the future shape of international order.

To explain these contradictions, Ruhlig draws from in-depth interviews with party-state officials to explain the for policy dynamics and processes of the normally opaque Chinese party-state. He demonstrates how different sources of the Chinese Communist Party's domestic limacy compete within the complex and highly fragmented Chinese party-state, resulting in contradictory for policies. He focuses on three issue areas: international human rights law and "responsibility to protect" (R2P); China's role in World Trade Organization (WTO) policymaking; and China's evolving relationship with Hong Kong.

In this work, Ruhlig shows not only why China's for policy is so inconsistent, but why it is likely to contribute to a more particularistic, plural, and fragmented international order in the years to come.
