This chapter examines China’s engagement with international regimes from perspectives of both norm compliance, which is the focus of China as a rule-taker, and norm entrepreneurship, which represents a major ambition of a rising China. It does not debate too much the status quo of China’s norm compliance or norm entrepreneurship. Instead, it focuses on what methodologies China adopts to comply with its international obligations and achieves its norm entrepreneurship. In doing so, this chapter examines how China engages the regimes in relation to peace, development, human rights, and new areas as well. This chapter informs people how international law enables the rise of China, how international law contains or fails to contain the rise of China, and how China seeks to reshape international law, thereby illustrating the multiplities of interactions between international law and the rise of China.Less

This chapter argues that the phenomenon of conversational exercitives generalizes. It is not just verbal contributions to conversations that enact norms; verbal contributions to other norm-governed activities also do so. Such covert exercitives are developed and the complex role of intention is clarified and explored. It is also argued that the covert enacting of a permissibility fact (by a covert or conversational exercitive) does not depend on the communication of the intention to enact that permissibility fact. As a result, such exercitives are not a communicative (illocutionary) phenomenon. Rather, they constitute what is here called a parallel act.Less

The theoretical foundation of the principles of good governance has been created by developing a strong relationship with the discussion between Dworkin and Hart about the position of the notion of principles in the concept of law. Another relationship has been worked out between law and values and the link between justice and morality, especially in the context of public law. In the context of good governance, the discussion is focused on whether good governance is a norm for the administration (or the government from a broader perspective) or a citizen’s right. A difference between Dworkin’s and Alexy’s approach to rules and principles has been recognized and finally we bridge the gap between principles and values.Less
