Features: This is an academic journal focused on international politics. The current issue collects five academic papers by Feng Huiyun, Qi Haixia, Wei Zongyou, Zhong Zhenming, and Liu Feng, with clear arguments and concise discussions, making it the best approach to studying the trends and deep-seated causes of changes in international politics. This is a work on problem-oriented research in international political science. The book primarily addresses six issues:
1. Replacing quantitative assignment methods with a ranking evaluation method to measure China's power status in the early 21st century, addressing the problems in previous quantitative assessments of China's comprehensive national strength.
2. Using falsification methods to analyze China's policy stance on the international order in response to the debate over whether China is a status quo power or a revisionist power.
3. Analyzing the phenomenon of separatism from both normative and empirical perspectives.
4. Employing game theory to examine the impact of government transitions on international negotiations. The author argues that government transitions create asymmetric information between negotiating parties, thereby affecting the outcomes of negotiations.
5. Examining the struggles between the Republican and Democratic parties in the U.S. Congress on arms control issues in the post-Cold War era.
6. Reviewing the development process of realist ideas and theoretical paradigms, as well as relevant critiques.
By improving research methods, readers can deepen their understanding of international political issues.
