Abstract
The study of international relations is a relatively recent phenomenon, dating back to the interwar period. In the Chinese case, International Relations did not gain a foothold in the academic world until after the 1950s, and for a long time, remained dependent on a ThirdWorldism and Marxist perspective. Only after Deng Xiaoping’s reforms and China’s opening to the world did a real movement to assert International Relations on Chinese territory begin. This movement to assert the discipline, coupled with China’s rise in the international system, motivated the desire and need to develop a ‘Chinese theory of International Relations’. Recent progress in this regard has been made through the project of a ‘Chinese School of International Relations’, which is far from being completed.
