TL;DR: The authors examine three influential thinkers from contemporary China, each offering us a distinctive perspective of interrelated aspects of China's place in the world in the twenty-first century, and flesh out implications of each of their arguments in terms of the visions they articulate.
Abstract: The objectives of this review article are straightforward. First, I examine three influential thinkers from contemporary China each offering us a distinctive perspective of interrelated aspects of China’s place in the world in the twenty-first century. Second, I seek to flesh out implications of each of their arguments in terms of the visions they articulate. Finally, I hope to raise some pertinent concerns for students of International Relations (IR) in India based on recent Chinese engagements with International Relations Theory (IRT). In this connection and through the work of these thinkers, I examine strategies that select Chinese scholars have adopted to carve out a global niche for themselves, specifically in the realm of IRT. To disaggregate the road map further, I begin with the work of Qin Yaqing, whose book A Relational Theory of World Politics was published originally in 2012. It was subsequently re-written and translated into English by Qin himself and eventually published by Cambridge University Press in 2018. Two other texts offer us a good sense of Qin’s provenance in theoretical terms. His interview appeared in Theory Talks in 2011 titled ‘Qin Yaqing on Rules vs. Relations, Drinking Coffee and Tea, and a Chinese Approach to Global Governance’. I also rely on a 2018 article in The Chinese Journal of International Politics titled ‘A Multiverse of Knowledge: Cultures and IR Theories’ to bring us up to speed with the latest theoretical inflections and evolution in Qin’s thought. In the latter article, Qin contextualises his work in relation to both Tingyang Zhao and Yan Xuetong. The recent work of all these three scholars is also the focus of this account. The second author and text that draws my attention here is the philosopher Zhao Tingyang’s book titled Redefining a Philosophy for World Governance. It treads important ground in terms of exploring the ideational underpinnings that might inform China’s
