Logic of the Powers
What global future would ensure hope, justice and peace to the human mankind?
In view of a fast evolving post-Covid world order, this volume explores a novel Christian post-colonial approach to global affairs. It examines the existing sociology of the powers theoretical scheme, the debate between Christian realism and Christian pacifism, the method and practice of prophetic witnessing, to elaborate a new Christian approach to statecraft and futurology in terms of theory, methodology and ontology.
This book:
- Uses the COVID-19 pandemic as the background to examine why and how the pandemic has accelerated the USs decline, and to identify the tacit game rules that contributed to the UK governments mishandling of the pandemic;
- Compares the political systems between China and the West, and engages with selected theoretical narratives from the Global South to envision an alternative shared globalisation project;
- Argues why it is important for post-colonial Christian individuals and communities to get involved in this global discussion for a new world order of complex realist interdependencies grounded on hope, social justice and peace.
A fresh take on global politics and international relations, this volume will be of great interest to scholars and researchers of political science, religious studies, peace studies, theology and future studies.

I want to thank all the media and journalists who interviewed, published and broadcasted me in the past years: Christian Times (Hong Kong), Hong Kong Economic Journal, HK01, Ming Pao, Now TV, Radio France Internationale, Radio Television Hong Kong and RT International.

Introduction
In the past two decades, Western academic and public policy circles have actively engaged in the debate between the China partner school and the China threat school (e.g. Deutsch Welle, 2020; Kissinger, 2020; Lampton, 2001; Mearsheimer, 2014). Despite China became the focal point for this particular debate, China should be regarded just a representative, if not entirely the Wests psychological projection of fear, of the general rise of the rest the Global South. In fact, since the United Kingdoms (U.K.) 2016 decision to leave the European Union (E.U.) (generally known as Brexit) and Donald Trumps 2016 electoral victory to the United States (U.S.) presidency, the fracturing Anglo-American-led liberal world order has gradually shifted the China partner Vs. China threat debate into the more inward-looking debate between the West in decline school and the excessive declinism school (Rachman, 2020).
