| Summary/Abstract |
This article focuses on how China views the normative structure of the international order. It integrates the Chinese cultural idea of guanxi into the established English School tradition in International Relations theory and argues that the norm of guanxi is an emerging pluralist primary institution. In this article, the author first presents the emergence of guanxi as a purposive norm in China’s foreign policy, and the interplay of this norm between China and other international actors. Second, the article scrutinizes the establishment of secondary institutions reflecting the norm of guanxi. Third, this article discusses how this primary institution has been consolidated at regional and global levels. In conclusion, this article briefly draws on two major developments of international politics: the cultural diversity of the international order and the emergence of a China-centred international society.

| Summary/Abstract |
This article introduces a cultural theory of Chinese foreign policy based on Chinese face culture and its three-dimensional features, namely: motivation; cognition and behavior. The core promise of this theory contends that face is the cultural expression of self-esteem, which is a powerful motive that drives China’s foreign policy. With the Chinese relationalism acting as a cognitive filter, there is a distinctive approach to fulfill this desire. This article shows, first, the origin of Chinese face culture and its current usage in Chinese society. Second, it explores how each dimension of face peer finds its relevance in China’s foreign policy. Third, it examines how to operationalize face in foreign policy analysis. Finally, the theoretical and practical importance of this theory will be summarized.
