| Summary/Abstract |
From the time China's UN membership was reinstated in 1972, the country has been a growingly active player on the world stage, having entered into economic cooperation, arms control, human rights and environmental protection with 150 international and non-governmental organizations (NGOs). Growing involvement in international institutions, however, implies binding oneself to their rules and regulations, including violation penalties. It can also mean forgoing certain national interests or even sovereignty rights. Although economic and material motivations often trigger the decision to cooperate, there are also instances where material motivations are less clear.
