THE ROLE OF CHINA IN THE GLOBAL SYSTEM

Анотація

The paper touches upon China’s expanding international role, its economic power, geopolitical influence, cultural reach, and evolving identity as a Global South Leader. Since the end of the Second World War up till the beginning of the 21st century American domination in the discipline of International Relations was based not only on quantitative indicators, such as a number of people, publications, funds and so on, but primarily on “paradigm dominance.” The end of the Cold War served as the starting point of a long transition from America’s unipolar world order towards the Chinese World Order with various actors presenting themselves as alternatives to what was seen as the US-led neoliberal world order: The European Union, BRICS, Russia, the Islamic State as the new Caliphate and so on. In this context the concept of Global China deserves special attention. China’s global thought in the twentieth century was syncretic – mixing and matching concepts, ideologies and goals from traditional China, liberalism, social Darwinism, anti-imperialism, communism, etc. The concept of Harmony has played one of the key roles in shaping the Chinese World Picture.
