Hung-jen Wang has written one of the first books, if not the first book, to systematically examine the relationship between China’s rise and the study of international relations in China. Given the growing influence of China in international affairs, it has become increasingly imperative for the outside world to understand Chinese scholars' unique outlooks on international relations, especially their views of China’s rise. This book is a welcome addition to facilitate the constructive dialog between Chinese and Western scholars of international relations.
