This lecture considers English School (ES) theory as a way of understanding China and its rise. It focuses both on where ES theory fits well enough with China to provide an interesting perspective, and on where ‘Chinese characteristics’ put China outside the standard ES framing and raise theoretical challenges to it. The first section briefly reviews the ES literature on China and how it sees China variously as a unique form of international society; as an object in the encounter with Western-colonial international society; and as an outlier in Western-global international society. The second section places China within the normative structure of contemporary decentred-global international society by looking at how China relates to the primary institutions that define that society. The third section explores two challenges that ‘Chinese characteristics’ pose for how the ES thinks about international society: hierarchy and ‘face’. The Conclusions assess the strengths and weaknesses of ES theory in relation to understanding the rise of China.

There is a widespread sense that the global international society (GIS) is in a significant period of transition. The longstanding Western order is under siege from several different directions including the diffusion of power, a mounting crisis within global capitalism, and a variety of shared threats from terrorism, through mass migration, to environmental change. This composite threat to the existing GIS is no small matter. Since the modern GIS first came into being during the 19th century, there have been many crises in it, including world wars, economic recessions and depressions, and decolonisation and the replacement of an imperial order by one of equality of both states and peoples. But so far there has not been a crisis of the GIS. Such a crisis would be big under any circumstances, but this one is particularly big because the existing GIS is the only one on a planetary scale that we have ever known, and it is not at all clear what kind of world order would or could follow on from its demise.
