Summary / Abstract (Note) | It is no exaggeration to say that Yan Xuetong's Ancient Chinese Thought, Modern Chinese Power is a path-breaking project that integrates ancient Chinese philosophy, Pre-Qin history, and contemporary International Relations (IR) theory. Although Yan has not introduced a new grand theory of IR in the book per se, he has paved a fresh theoretical and intellectual path to reforming current, western-philosophy-and-history-based IR theory. If scholars follow Yan's guidance and approach as laid out in the book, it will be no surprise to see developed more than one new IR theory. |
