Upgrading the Paradigm of Leadership Analysis
Leadership analysis has been a traditional paradigm for studying international relations. The theory of moral realism improves this paradigm’s scientific rigour when explaining the relationship between the leadership of major powers and system-level international changes. Methodologically, moral realism uses morality as the criterion to categorise international leadership, the key independent variable. The theory is developed to improve realism’s…
Bipolar Rivalry in the Early Digital Age
The year 2019 saw the curtain rise on a US–China bipolar rivalry quite different from the Cold War US–Soviet bipolarity. The fundamental difference between the current bipolar rivalry and that during the Cold War is that ideology is no longer the main engine driving international competition, but rather the new digital dimension of strategic competition that is emerging between the United States and China. Technological advancement over the past …
IR Moral Realism’s Epistemology
Leadership and the Rise of Great Powers received 16 book reviews within 6 months of its publication. Among them, the one by Professor Rajesh Rajagopalan (which appeared in the India Quarterly, 75:3) is the most academically and theoretically compelling. I highly appreciate his sincere theoretical critiques that encourage me to rethink my theory. His review inspired me to have a written conversation with him about the epistemology of the internati…

There are three political values compete with each other in China, Marxism, economic pragmatism, and Chinese traditional values. The Chinese government tries to combine Marxism with Chine…
Political Leadership and Power Redistribution
The theoretical puzzle that moral realism must crack is that of why a rising state is able to displace a dominating hegemon even though it is inferior to the latter in terms of economic base, technical invention, education system, military strength, and political system. Moral realism attributes political leadership to the rise or decline of great powers and categorizes political leadership, according to morality, as inactive, conservative, proac…

The Rise of China in Chinese Eyes
The rise of China will create a huge market that will eventually make substantial contributions to scientific progress. The rise of China will benefit the Chinese as well as the rest of the world. Economic globalization makes it impossible for any country to keep its scientific and technological achievements from benefiting others. Every rich country inevitably invests largely abroad and imports many products from others. During the process of ec…
