Abstract
Growing multipolarity in international affairs together with the rise of non-state actors do require us to re-think what constitutes sustainable development, in general, but also how economic growth can be respectful of the environment and individual rights. The People’s Republic of China (China) does constitute an important part of that story. This paper aims to analyse China’s discourse, laws, and policies on sustainable development at both national and international levels. It situates sustainable development in the broader context of China’s current development policy; addresses the ways in which China engages with multilateral and bilateral institutions (i.e. legal instruments) in the area of sustainable development; as well as assesses the scope and limitations of China’s focus on sustainable development in the context of Outward Foreign Direct Investment in the framework of the Belt and Road Initiative.
期刊介绍：
The Journal aims to explore the implications of various traditions of international law, as well as more current perceived hegemonic trends for the idea of an international community. The Journal will also look at the ways and means in which the international community uses and adapts international law to deal with new and emerging challenges. Non-state actors , intergovernmental and non-governmental organisations, individuals, peoples, transnational corporations and civil society as a whole - have changed our outlook on contemporary international law. In addition to States and intergovernmental organizations, they now play an important role.
