Faţa nevăzută a Chinei: paradigme, autori şi evoluţii instituţionale în domeniul cercetării relaţiilor internaţionale
The un-acknowledged face of China: paradigms, authors and institutional evolutions in international relations research

Summary/Abstract: As a rising great power and direct challenger to US systemic supremacy, People’s Republic of China is developing some specific paradigms for understanding international relations and is building new institutions: research institutes, think tanks, strategic centers. Chinese academics and strategists rediscovered centuries-old Confucianism and old imperial-era paradigms like Datong and Tianxia, which seen the world as absolutely harmonious and China as the center of the world. These theories are competing but also mixing with reminiscences of Marxism and western International Relations Theories, reflecting a generational cleavage among the Chinese experts in International Relations and a competition among them to get influential to the political and military Chinese leaders.
