Relations and Roles in China's Internationalism
State University of New York Press (Verlag)
978-1-4384-9887-4 (ISBN)
Pluriversalism within International Relations and the literature on Chinese international relations each embrace ideas of relation and difference. While they similarly strive for recognition by Western academics, they do not seriously engage with each other. To the extent that either succeeds in winning recognition, it ironically reproduces Western centrism and the binary of the Western versus the non-Western. In Relations and Roles in China's Internationalism, author Chih-yu Shih demonstrates, through a critical translation exercise, that Confucian themes enable both the critique and realignment of liberal thought, allowing all of us, including the members of Confucianism and the neo-liberal order, to understand how we adapt to and coexist with each another. In the end, Confucianism not only informs the pluriversal necessity that all are bound to be related but also de-nationalizes China's internationalism.
Chih-yu Shih is Visiting Chair Professor of Tongji University and Professor Emeritus of National Taiwan University. He is the author of Post-Chineseness: Cultural Politics and International Relations, also published by SUNY Press.
