The Rise of China

This chapter introduces the concept of Chinese exceptionalism as a
 framework for studying China’s political worldview and international
 relations. It argues that a discourse of Chinese exceptionalism has permeated
 Chinese scholarly circles as a mode of political inquiry into China’s
 international relations and vision of global order. Consequently it argues
 that a framework of exceptionalism provides a more comprehensive
 explanation of China’s international politics and foreign policy behavior.
 The chapter also discusses the research design of this study, which is based
 primarily on elite interviews and discourse analysis. It concludes with an
 outline of the remaining eight chapters of the book, and how they relate
 to the broader theme of Chinese exceptionalism.
