The post-2017 trajectory of Chinese governance in Xinjiang has been described as agenocide or crime against humanity with increasing frequency among scholars,investigative journalists, and human rights advocacy groups, and declared a genocideby the United States. While this international discourse has not prompted radicalchange, reactions of PRC party leaders in diplomatic arenas and PRC state mediasuggest that close attention is paid to these judgements. PRC statements regardingXinjiang policy often cite recent judgements by other countries, in particular the UnitedStates. The link between international criticism of Xinjiang policies and the PRC thenchanging these policies has not yet been explored but has been anecdotallyrecognised by Xinjiang researchers.This study will analyse the nature of the dynamic relationship between internationalpressure and changes in Xinjiang policy, from Chen Quanguo's appointment asCommunist Party Secretary of Xinjiang in August 2016 onwards, through a closeanalysis of documents. This includes on the one hand, documents published or signedin diplomatic arenas by governments external to China, statements from individualgovernment spokespersons, and publications from human rights organisations; and,on the other hand, documents published by or leaked from the PRC, white papers andpolicy documents, state media reports on policy, and party engagement in diplomaticarenas. On the basis of legal anthropology and document ethnography, this researchwill elucidate the relationship between international discourse and Xinjiang policychanges. This will illustrate how diplomacy and human rights advocacy mayencourage positive change for the people of Xinjiang.

2017年后中国在新疆的治理轨迹越来越多地被学者、调查记者和人权倡导团体描述为种族灭绝或反人类罪，并被美国宣布为种族灭绝。虽然这一国际话语并未引发根本性变化，但中国共产党领导人在外交舞台和中国官方媒体的反应表明，这些判断受到了密切关注。中国关于新疆政策的声明经常引用其他国家，特别是美国最近的判断。国际上对新疆政策的批评与中国随后改变这些政策之间的联系尚未被探讨，但新疆研究人员已经认识到了这一点。本研究将分析国际压力与新疆政策变化之间动态关系的本质，从陈全国被任命为共产党开始2016年8月起，新疆党委书记通过认真分析文件。一方面包括境外政府在外交场合发表或签署的文件、政府发言人的声明以及人权组织的出版物；另一方面，中华人民共和国发布或泄露的文件、白皮书和政策文件、官方媒体关于政策的报道以及政党在外交领域的参与。本研究将在法律人类学和文献民族志的基础上，阐明国际话语与新疆政策变化的关系。这将说明外交和人权倡导如何能够鼓励新疆人民发生积极的变化。
