Drawing on Chinese cultural and philosophical traditions, this book
offers a ground breaking reinterpretation of world politics from
Yaqing Qin, one of China's leading scholars of international
relations. Qin has pioneered the study of constructivism in China
and developed a variant of this approach, arguing that culture
defined in terms of background knowledge nurtures social theory and
enables theoretical innovation. Building upon this argument, this
book presents the concept of 'relationality', shifting the focus
from individual actors to the relations amongst actors. This
ontology of relations examines the unfolding processes whereby
relations create the identities of actors and provide motivations
for their actions. Appealing to scholars of international relations
theory, social theory and Chinese political thought, this exciting
new concept will be of particular interest to those who are seeking
to bridge Eastern and Western approaches for a truly global
international relations project.
