Abstract

This article addresses the three main theoretical currents of Chinese International Relations: Tianxia, Relational Theory of International Relations, and Moral Realism. The aim is to present these currents, discuss their specifics and their main ideational elements, verify their points of contact with Western theories, and suggest possible contributions to the field of studies. This was possible via a literature review of the works of the three main authors: Zhao Tingyang, Qin Yaqing, and Yan Xuetong, in addition to an analysis of the discussions already conducted by researchers on the topic.
