Summary/Abstract |
Starting as a mere concept named “Galactic Network” by J.C.R. Licklider of MIT in August 1962, the ‘internet’ has in the past few decades revolutionised the way this world communicates. Having been technically nurtured in the Defence Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) from early the 1960s to the late 1970s, the internet, i.e. the then ARPANET, has undergone various phases, starting with the sending of host-to-host messages with mere packet switching technology in extreme low speed (2.4 kbps – 50kbps) in 1969, to the advancement of the host-to-host protocol of ARPANET called “Network Control Protocol” (NCP) in 1970, to the introduction of ‘electronic mail’ service in 1972 for an easy coordination mechanism in ARPANET.

Summary/Abstract |
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.
