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, Liu Feng, etc. The arguments are clear and the discussions are concise, 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. To address the problems in previous quantitative methods for assessing China's comprehensive national power, it employs a grading evaluation method to measure China's strength status in the early 21st century.
2. To analyze the debate in the U.S. over whether China is a status quo power or a revisionist power, it uses falsification methods to examine China's policy stance on the international order.
3. It analyzes the phenomenon of separatism from both normative and empirical perspectives.
4. It applies game theory to study 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. It examines the struggles between the Republican and Democratic parties in the U.S. Congress on arms control issues after the Cold War.
6. It reviews the development process of realist ideas, theoretical paradigms, and related critiques.
By improving research methods, readers can deepen their understanding of international political issues.
