  abstract: Focusing on the role of harmony in Chinese international relations (IR) theory, this book seeks to illuminate Chinese understandings of world politics and foreign policy. Taking a decolonial approach and rooted in China's cultural and epistemic terms, the title first describes three traditions of the concept of harmony in ancient Chinese thought and then analyses three strands of contemporary Chinese international relations theory that draw upon this traditional thinking. Despite their similarities in advocating a radical deepening of China's relations with other countries and intense interdependence as essential for global peace and prosperity, these Chinese international relations theories understand the concept of harmony in different ways and present different recommendations for achieving harmonious relations. Based on this framework of harmonious international relations, Chinese social scientists also argue for new directions in Chinese foreign policy in a manner that is complementary with China's policymaking system. In the case study section, the authors apply harmonious international relations perspectives to the Belt and Road Initiative and demonstrate how a better understanding of Chinese international relations theories can shed light on motivations behind Chinese foreign policy. This work will be a valuable reference for scholars, students, policymakers and general readers interested in Chinese politics, Chinese foreign policy, Chinese international relations theory and ancient Chinese philosophy.
