   Sammanfattning : In April 2005 the Japanese authorities approved eight new history textbooks for secondary school which are accused of trivialising Japanese war crimes. Within hours, the Chinese mass media were teeming with anti-Japanese sentiments and Japanese property worth millions of dollars was vandalised by angry protesters during the weeks to follow ? the question I seek to answer is how the contemporary Japanese enemy image is constructed and maintained in Chinese media? Using a Laclau and Mouffe inspired discourse analysis strategy to analyse the Japanese enemy image as it was represented in the Chinese media in April 2005, I have identified several discourses, which by way of demonising Japan and victimising China in concert constitute and maintain the Japanese enemy image.

   Sammanfattning : Although the Chinese government claims respect of human rights, it seems that the official Chinese conception of these rights is not only different from but also challenges the dominant international conception - this Chinese challenge of the international human rights regime constitutes the problem area of this thesis. Using a Laclau and Mouffe inspired discourse analysis strategy to deconstruct and analyse the hegemonic struggle between the official Chinese human rights discourse and the dominant international human rights discourse, I have established that the Chinese challenge lies in the continued effort to redefine the dominant conception of human rights, shifting the focus from freedom rights towards subsistence rights.
