Social Reach examines the identity of global leadership and the
impact it has on global governance. Realism focuses on strategic
interests; idealism focuses on norms and values. However, the
'either my interest or my value' approach toward international
relations is not compatible with the identity of a global leader.
The essence of international relations is 'relationship, ' instead
of interest or values. Tian-jia Dong proposes a connectivist
perspective, which focuses on full-fledged connections through
functional instrumentation and relational inclusion. Three
logics--the logic of conquest, the logic of interdependence, and
the logic of togetherness--are highlighted as the driving forces
behind the dynamics of international relationship. Dong further
illustrates two new concepts, 'connective authority' and
'connective democracy' as the guiding principles of global
leadership and global governance
