Reimagining the International cover

A rich and enlightening study of Chinese international relations, this book examines Chinese world ordering before the West as both intellectual history and institutional practices in deep world history. It shows how engaging China’s historical pursuit of ordering the world can contribute to our search for global foundations of international thought.

Offering a distinctive English School perspective, this volume is a call to put studies of Chinese international relations in their proper historical context. It argues that such an approach leads to a better understanding of Chinese ideas and statecraft and contends that reimagining the international is indispensable for a fruitful pursuit of IR knowledge production in the construction of global IR.

“The best book on China in International Relations because in rethinking its long history in a non-Eurocentric global context, it also tells us new things about the international system today.” John M. Hobson, University of Sheffield
