There are competing interpretations of China's emerging role in the world-system. Some view China as a revisionist power, structurally differentiated from the west. Others see China as a status quo power operating within, and benefitting from the U.S. led liberal world economic order. Within this split interpretation of Chinese positionality with regards to its international relations, there are then further debates as to the structural reality of Chinese power and its ability to become the dominant force in global politics. Running alongside these mainstream analyses are a new set of theories emerging from globalisation discourse. These theories, which are of diverse origin, challenge the traditional state centric presentation of international relations and point our attention to the emergence of new transnational forces. Such theories destabilise traditional analysis that focus analysis on states as principle actors and effective agents with real power. In my research I suggest that world-systems theory is still an appropriate starting point for understanding international relations. I will attempt to show that world-systems theories, ideas of system, interconnection and hierarchical arrangements of power structured through nation state apparatus are the best starting point for understanding the positionality of China. However I will also argue that world-systems theory is limited by a certain conceptual overdetermination. Concepts such as hegemony, core, periphery and semi-periphery are too loose and not analytically complex enough to produce accurate portrayals of complex realities. In light of the shortcoming of world-systems theory I propose to produce an adapted conceptual framework more suited to understanding international dynamics. Dynamics that are paradoxically both highly integrated and highly disaggregated. Keywords: Hegemony, World-systems theory, China, globalisation, power transfer.

对中国在世界系统中的新兴作用有竞争的解释。有些人将中国视为修正主义的力量，从结构上与西方区分开来。其他人则将中国视为在内部运作的现状权力，并从美国领导的自由世界经济秩序中受益。在这种对中国在国际关系方面的地位的解释中，关于中国权力的结构性现实及其成为全球政治中主要力量的能力的进一步辩论。与这些主流分析一起运行是全球化话语中出现的一系列新理论。这些具有多种起源的理论挑战了国际关系的传统以国家为中心的呈现，并将我们的注意力指出了新的跨国力量的出现。这种理论破坏了传统分析的稳定稳定，将分析重点放在国家作为主要参与者和有效力量的有效代理上。在我的研究中，我认为世界系统理论仍然是理解国际关系的适当起点。我将试图表明，通过民族国家设备构建的权力的世界理论，系统思想，互连和分层安排是理解中国地位的最佳起点。但是，我还将争辩说，世界系统理论受到某种概念过度确定的限制。诸如霸权，核心，外围和半外围的概念太松散，并且在分析上不足以产生精确的复杂现实刻画。鉴于世界系统理论的缺点，我建议生产一个适合理解国际动态的改编概念框架。自相矛盾的动力学既高度整合又高度分类。关键词：霸权，世界系统理论，中国，全球化，权力转移。
