A decade ago in 2007 we published a forum in International Relations of the Asia-Pacific (IRAP) on ‘Why there is no non-Western IR theory?’. Now we revisit this project ten years on, and assess the current state of play. What we do in this article is first, to survey and assess the relevant literature that has come out since then; second, to set out four ways in which our own understanding of this issue has evolved since 2007; third to reflect on some ways in which Asian IR might contribute to the emergence of what we call ‘Global IR’; and fourth to look specifically at hierarchy as an issue on which East Asian IR scholars might have a comparative advantage. Our aim is to renew, and perhaps refocus, the challenge to Asian IR scholars, and our hope is that this will contribute to the building of Global IR

为什么没有非西方国际关系理论？十年过去了

十年前的 2007 年，我们在亚太国际关系 (IRAP) 上发表了一个论坛，主题是“为什么没有非西方国际关系理论？”。现在我们在十年后重新审视这个项目，并评估当前的状态。我们在本文中所做的首先是调查和评估此后出现的相关文献；第二，列出自 2007 年以来我们对这个问题的理解演变的四种方式；第三，思考亚洲投资者关系可能对我们所谓的“全球投资者关系”的出现做出贡献的一些方式；第四，专门将等级制度视为东亚国际关系学者可能具有比较优势的一个问题。我们的目标是更新，或许重新聚焦亚洲 IR 学者面临的挑战，我们希望这将有助于全球 IR 的建设
