Major IR theories, which stress that actors will inevitably only seek to enhance their own interests, tend to contrive binaries of self and other and `inside¿ and `outside¿.

The author finds "collective democracy" as practiced in the People's Republic of China a departure from the Western norm.

The book allows readers...
