世界权力的转移：政治领导与战略竞争

by Yan Xuetong

《世界权力的转移：政治领导与战略竞争》对世界权力转移现象提出了新的理论解释，是关于崛起国何以成功和霸权何以衰落的理论。这是一本政治决定论的著作，与经济决定论的理论截然相反。该理论将政治领导作为导致国际格局、国际规范和国际体系三者演化的根本原因，将实力作为界定国家利益的基础，并认为在利益明确的条件下政治领导的类型决定了对外战略取向。政治领导类型与道义相关，而道义所发挥的作用又是以实力为基础的。该理论借鉴了中国古代的政治思想，特别是有关道义取向与领导类型之间关系的认识，因此被国际学界称为道义现实主义。本书对道义现实主义的国际关系理论进行了全面阐述，并建议中国选择王道的崛起战略。

The name could be translated as "The shift of the world power--political leadership and strategic competition "(I suppose so...)

If asked who is my favorite indigenous scholar on international relation studies, I shall offer my answer without any vacillation . MR Yan Xuetong shall definitely ranks the first in my reading list .

If I have to recommend scholars in China who can persuasively and profoundly deliberate his academic perspectives with enormous coherence , Mr Yan is on my top list.

If I have to predict whose scholastic research could stand the test of time, my tendency is with him.

Which perspective will prevail in predicting IR arena, Moral realism or aggressive realism of Mr John Mearsheimer? I shall be prone to the first.

The book currently has no English version but I expect it will have one in the near future. The book is not perfect, as no books can. But it is worth a read.

I rarely recommend any scholars or books to anyone, well, Mr Yan is an exception.

Will do the review after pondering a bit.
