Possibility of a non-Western IR theory in Asia

It is widely believed that the center of gravity in world politics is shifting away from the West; However, contemporary International Relations is still dominated by the powerful Western countries both with their values and theories of IR. Thereafter, there is increasing needs for Non-Western countries to develop their own IR theories to challenge Western IR theory that put Non-Western nations more as objects. That the West is in relative decline while the Rest is finally rising economically and politically. The global financial crisis and Western engagements in the Middle East only accelerated this process and developing ‘Third World’ countries now appear to be closing economic and technological gaps much faster than expected. The rise of non-Western countries represents one of the greatest challenges to International Relations in our time and yet it is one that we are particularly ill equipped to understand. With the rise of the rest, the structure of the international system is increasingly described as diffuse, apolar and regionalized. The future of global governance, international institutions and Western values is being questioned and traditional Western IR theories are skeptical that such changes of the existing world order, and power transitions in general, can be peaceful. Meanwhile, non-Western scholars have criticized existing theories for being Eurocentric, US-biased and the tools of Western hegemony. From this perspective, change is welcomed as an inevitable, peaceful and stabilizing force.
The building process of Non-Western International Relations theories should not only perceived as a Non-Western counter on the hegemony of Western International Relations. Furthermore, it should be perceived as an effort to provide better explanation and understanding on the International Relations on Non-Western countries. Furthermore, Non-Western International Relations theories also an attempt to counter the process of alienation from Western International theories to Non-Western International Relations scholars. Building Non-Western International Relations Theories as local values as the root also will bring International Relations easier to understand by Non-Western people that will generate awareness on International Relations phenomena. Acharya and Buzan (Non-Western International Relation Theory)argued that the practice of foreign policy is one of the source Non-Western International Relations theories. However, in practice there is cooperation between decision maker and International Relations scholars. In this sense, Non-Western International Relations theories will have significant impact on Non-Western countries’ decision making process. Thereafter, Non-Western International Relations theories will be presented in Non-Western countries’ foreign policy.
The third significance of Non-Western International Relations theories is its effect on shaping perspective of the International Relations academia in Asia and Africa countries. In long term, it will impact on shaping non-western perspective decision making culture on the process formulating foreign policy. In broader sense, it will shape different behavior of Non-Western
International countries in global politics. The changing nature of International Relations will change the discourse of International Relations.
In arguably, the rising discourse of Non-Western International Relations will create the complexity of International Relations theories in Non-Western academic community and the whole international relations academic community. This complexity will attract new form of theoretical debates in International Relations. Thereafter,Bandung Spirit could be adopted in International Relation theories interaction. 
Non-Western International Relations theories has been the growing discourse in contemporary International Relations. However, despite the growing interest from International Relations academia, there are still obstacles in its development: political domination of Western countries to Non-Western countries, academic domination on Western International Relations scholars, third, the trauma of colonization among Non-Western International Relations scholars.Local values of Non-Western nations could be adapted in building Non-Western International Relations theories. There are several widely known Non-Western International Relations perspective that based on local values such as Mandala system, Confucianism, and Pan-Africanism. The development of International Relations theories is essential on building foreign policy of Non Western countries foreign policy. Interaction between Non-Western International Relations theories should adapt respect each other principle of Bandung Spirit.
