China's behavior and ambitions to become a norm-maker in the South China Sea dispute/ Sinisa Vukovic and Paul-Jakob Fechner - 2023

The main argument pursued in this article states that from the Chinese perspective, when challenging norms, it is not primarily the content of the challenged norm that matters but the likelihood of successfully shaping a new norm and thus becoming the effective norm-maker in the region.
