| Summary / Abstract (Note) | For several decades, diverse IR theories in China have been following the trails of western scholars, which are lacking distinctive Chinese characteristics and might not be a good fit for oriental culture in general. So, this paper offers some analyses based on a study of the Zhouyi or I Ching, the Book of changes, combined with some related ideas in Chinese geomancy, Fengshui. The author seek to develop a new interdisciplinary analytical method on a theoretical base he calls Trigram Combinations and Permutations (TCP), which may explain how diverse international issues come into being and suggest an ideal structure as a stable basis for sustainable development in international relations from the perspective of Chinese traditional philosophy and the interaction between Yin and Yang. |
