Özet:

 This paper explores the historical relationship between homegrown theorization in the discipline of international relations in China and its changing position in the international system. Since Chinas opening reforms in 1978, the country has increasingly integrated into the Western-centered international system, resulting in significant economic, political, and military growth. As a consequence, the international systems center of gravity has shifted from the Atlantic to the Pacific. This has led to a growing interest among international relations scholars in analyzing China using theories that are shaped by Chinese ideology, history, and tradition. This study argues that the motivation for studying non-ideological international relations and homegrown theorization in China is a result of the countrys process of integrating with the world and repositioning itself within the global system. Overall, this study contributes to the ongoing debate in international relations about the diversity of theoretical perspectives and the need to recognize the intellectual contributions of non-Western countries. By focusing on Chinas homegrown theorization in international relations, this study provides insights into the evolution of the discipline and highlights the challenges associated with incorporating non-Western perspectives into the mainstream.

 Bu makale, Çinde uluslararası ilişkiler ve yerel teori çalışmalarını Çinin uluslararası sistemdeki değişen konumu arasındaki ilişkiyi tarihsel bağlamda tartışmaktadır. Çinin 1978de baslattıgı Açılım Reformları ile Çin, Batı-merkezli uluslararası sisteme daha fazla entegre olmaya baslamıstır. Aynı zamanda bu reformlar Çinin ekonomik, politik, askeri olarak güçlenmesine ve bu gelismelerin bir çıktısı olarak da uluslararası sistemin merkezinin Atlantikten Pasifike kaymasında etkili olmuştur. Dolayısıyla Çinin uluslararası sistemle artan angajmanı, Çinli karar alıcıların da tesvikiyle uluslararası iliskiler uzmanlarını, kendi düsünce sistemleri, tarihleri ve geleneklerinden üretilmis uluslararası iliskiler teorileri ile açıklamaya sevketmektedir. Bu çalışma, de ideoloji-dısı uluslararası iliskiler ve yerel teori çalısmalarında motive edici faktörün Çinin dünya ile entegre süreci ve kendisini küresel sistem içinde yeniden konumlandırmasının bir neticesi olduğunu savunmaktadır. Genel olarak, bu çalışma uluslararası ilişkilerde teorik bakış açılarının çeşitliliği ve Batı-dışı ülkelerin entelektüel katkılarını tanıma ihtiyacı hakkında süregelen tartışmalara katkıda bulunmaya çalışmaktadır. Ayrıca, Çin-merkezli uluslararası ilişkilerde yerel teorileştirme çalışmalarına odaklanarak, disiplinin evrimine dair bir gözlem sağlamakta ve Batı-dışı bakış açılarını ana akıma dahil etmenin getirdiği zorlukları incelemektedir.
