| Summary/Abstract |
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.
