Features: This book collects the author's academic articles over the past decade, systematically organizing research methods in international relations around the development of the discipline in China, aiming to promote the transformation of international relations research in China from traditional to scientific approaches. The book is divided into three parts—Science, Standards, and Methods; Peace, Security, and Cooperation; and Conflict, Rise, and Strategy—based on the logical themes of research methods in international relations, theoretical discussions, and analysis and recommendations on China's security environment and foreign policy, with a particular emphasis on the theme of international security. The author adopts realism as the primary analytical framework, while also drawing on some ideas from liberalism and constructivism when studying security cooperation issues.
