Features: The theory originates from practice and serves as the basis for practical actions. In an information-based society, ideas and theories are not only a soft power externally but also an important tool for internal cohesion and identity. As the influence and participation of citizens in foreign affairs and international issues increase, the guiding role of theory becomes increasingly undeniable. No individual, nation, state, or cultural community can exclude their own worldview, values, and pursuit of peace for humanity. 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 characteristics of the evolution 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 of contemporary China's peace diplomacy strategy, its theoretical causes, etc. It aims to promote in-depth research on China's international relations theory, academically argue for 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 theory of power politics still prevails, the study of China's peace strategy theory not only holds practical significance for China but also carries undeniable importance for the development of international politics and its theoretical progress.
