Know about the book -

China’s Rise and Rethinking International Relations Theory is written by Chengxin Pan and published by Policy Press. It's available with International Standard Book Number or ISBN identification 1529212960 (ISBN 10) and 9781529212969 (ISBN 13).

Bringing together leading scholars from Asia and the West, this book investigates how the dynamics of China’s rise in world politics contributes to theory-building in International Relations (IR). The book demonstrates how the complex and transformative nature of China’s advancement is also a point of departure for theoretical innovation and reflection in IR more broadly. In doing so, the volume builds a strong case for a genuinely global and post-Western IR. It contends that ‘non-Western’ countries should not only be considered potential sources of knowledge production, but also original and legitimate focuses of IR theorizing in their own right.
