"Appreciating Difference"and Achieving Theoretical Innovation in International Studies
Western International Relations tend to reject differences due to the fear of anarchy,which makes them tend to adopt assimilation or elimination to deal with differences,and it is difficult to appreciate difference in international studies."Appreciating difference"refers to an attitude towards understanding differences,a strategy for dealing with differences,and a vision for coexisting with differences.The development of international relations theory not only requires a cultural awareness of its own,but also needs appreciation of others,then the world will be a harmonious one.Chinese international relations scholars have made beneficial attempts based on respecting disciplinary differences,temporal differences,and cultural differences.The construction of global international relations of each civilization has opened up a space for appreciating the others,while the establishment of Area Studies provides opportunities for"appreciating difference"at the theoretical level,which requires regional studies to respect the differences in various levels.Only in this way can Chinese scholars build a theoretical system that can confront the various differences in international studies,and thus contribute to the appreciation of difference.
