Abstract

ABSTRACT In the contemporary era, a few global North countries have been dominant actors in global environmental governance. However, as their approach has resulted in an imbalance of benefits and costs across regions, there has been an increasing effort to incorporate socio-economic and livelihoods aspects into wildlife protection strategies. Within this ongoing discussion, I explore how China, as a rising power, approached the environmental norms of protecting endangered marine species in the last decades. By tracing its policy development from 2003 to 2019, I find that China has changed its policy from challenging to reconciling and finally to reconfiguring its governance practice. Drawing upon socialization scholarship, I argue that China’s policy adaptation demonstrates selective socialization, where an actor makes issue-specific decisions involving reconciling the discrepancy between international norms and domestic interests. This study has far-reaching implications on China's potential role and influence in global governance on protecting wildlife. First, its marine biodiversity policy reaches beyond existing approaches and represents values and interests with regard to marine species. Second and relatedly, China’s socialization processes are bidirectional, generating alternative approaches to international norms within existing governance practice.

CITES濒危海洋物种保护:中国与选择性社会化
当代,少数全球北方国家在全球环境治理中占据主导地位。然而,由于他们的做法导致了区域间收益和成本的不平衡,因此越来越多的人努力将社会经济和生计方面纳入野生动物保护战略。在这个正在进行的讨论中,我探讨了中国作为一个正在崛起的大国,在过去几十年里是如何处理保护濒危海洋物种的环境规范的。通过追溯2003年至2019年中国的政策发展,我发现中国的政策经历了从挑战到和解,再到重新配置治理实践的转变。借鉴社会化学术,我认为中国的政策适应表现出选择性社会化,在这种社会化中,参与者做出具体问题的决策,包括协调国际规范与国内利益之间的差异。本研究对中国在野生动物保护全球治理中的潜在作用和影响具有深远意义。首先,它的海洋生物多样性政策超越了现有的方法,代表了海洋物种的价值和利益。其次,与此相关的是,中国的社会化过程是双向的,在现有的治理实践中产生了与国际规范不同的途径。
