I illustrate the diversified causes and consequences of status (dis)satisfaction with the case of China’s inconsistent compliance a the nascent global environmental order from 1950 to 1972. This case contains multinational/multilingual archival accounts I collected from 2022-23. (6/n)

A status-sensitive state thus navigates upward recognition-seeking and downward deference-seeking, and responds to various status (dis)satisfaction scenarios with competitive socialization, cooperative socialization, or defiance. (5/n)

My framework of multiple audiences dynamic thus reconceptualizes status-seeking as a three-actor social arrangement among a state, the social superiors/peers, and the social inferiors. (4/n)

But this truncated view not only overlooks the bottom half of the status hierarchy, but mistakes status discontent, the mistreatment and misperception by great powers, as a source of revisionism and belligerent responses. (3/n)

My article offers a new perspective on diversifying the causes and consequences of status dissatisfaction. Conventional wisdom holds a unidimensional view of international status competition as (dyadic) interactions between the upstarts and the established powers. (2/n)
