Summary/Abstract: An essential element for the functioning of the international system is idea forming the basis for creating rules and institutions ruling political and economic interactions of international actors. With the crisis of the position of the West since 20083, one can observe non-Western actors’ narrative pointing a need for a new international order in the twenty-first century. Behind that lies the idea of a “fair and reasonable international order” supported by the developing countries, and especially by the so called “emerging powers”. The most important role plays the People’s Republic of China (PRC), which reached the status of the second world’s well-developed economy, aiming at strengthening its political position and seeking adequate justification for this process.
