Message:
Abstract:
War is one of the man's first social experiences, and, the systemic wars, because of their destructive consequences, are considered as the most key subjects pertaining to international peace and security. The great power's relations are believed to be as one of the most significant subjects in the systemic wars. In this regards, china's behavior and itsinteraction with the great powers considered to be crucial and thus immensely focused by scholars of International Politics. Conceptualized China's behavior therefore, has shaped the path of many current researches. A concise look at the analytical frameworksof China's foreign policy behavior and ways of its interaction with the great powers signify that, despite the current attempts, there is a lack of appropriate intellectual framework for this subject in the discipline of International Politics. Thus, there is a need for serious analytical studies in this domain. This essay tries to introduce the relevant theoretical discussions, including the contending theories in this subject, beginning by the theories which focus on the political domestic developments and their impacts on China's foreign policy orientation, as well as the systemic theories and the mechanism on how these theories analyze China's foreign policy behavior. Lastly, the research presents its chosen perspective.
