Features: The theory originates from practice and serves as the basis for actual actions. In an information-based society, ideas and theories are not only a soft power externally but also an important tool for internal cohesion. As the influence and participation of citizens in foreign affairs and international matters increase, the guiding role of theory becomes increasingly irreplaceable. No individual, nation, or cultural community can exclude their own worldview, values, and pursuit of human peace. Based on the reference of existing domestic and international research achievements, this book takes the perspective of international peace and development as the main thread. By briefly reviewing the evolution characteristics of international relations theories in ancient and modern times, it lays a foundation for further revealing the development patterns of pacifist thought in the human world, as well as the formation and development patterns, theoretical causes, and other aspects of contemporary China's peace diplomacy strategy. It aims to promote in-depth research on China's international relations theory, academically argue China's peaceful development and peaceful rise strategy with pacifism as the theme, and theoretically refute hegemonic politics and the "China threat theory." Today, when the old power politics theory still prevails, the research on China's peace strategy theory is not only of practical significance to China but also of great importance to the development of international politics and its theoretical progress.
