Summary This book is a political ethnography of norm diffusion and storytelling through international institutions in China. It is driven by intellectual puzzles and realpolitik questions: are we converging or diverging on values? Do emerging powers reinforce or reshape the existing international order? Are international institutions socialising emerging powers or being used to promote alternative norms? This book addresses these questions through fieldwork research over three years at the United Nations Development Programme in China, the first international development agency to enter post-reform China. It provides a crucial case to study the everyday practices of norm diffusion in emerging powers, and highlights the central role of storytelling in translating and contesting normative scripts. The book selects norms in human rights, rule of law and development cooperation to analyse how translators and brokers innovatively use stories to advocate, and how normative stories move between local-global spaces and orders. Xiaoyu Lu is an Assistant Professor at the School of International Studies at Peking University and was a Research Fellow at the Australian National University. He received his MSc and DPhil degrees in Politics at St Antonys College, University of Oxford, and worked at the United Nations. His research focuses on international development, conflict and security, and global anthropology.
