In the formation and development of the discipline of international relations, a series of concepts have been produced, which can be divided into those generated in the thought and practice of international relations in premodern times, those created in the construction of modern international relations theories, and those transplanted from other disciplines to the field of international relations. In view of the fact that the existing concepts generated in premodern international relations thought and practice mainly come from the West, Chinese scholars have begun to explore and interpret the classical Chinese concepts of international relations, generate new concepts based on the analysis of the international system in various regions of ancient Asia, and contract or expand the scope of application of the existing concepts. For the concepts created in the construction of modern international relations theories, Chinese scholars have redefined the existing concepts by identifying their origins, clarifying their differences and seeking common ground, making new wine in old bottles, and classifying them into different categories, and created new concepts by adding adjectives to the existing concepts and combining two existing concepts. Under the interdisciplinary trend of research in social sciences, Chinese scholars in international relations have consciously borrowed concepts from other disciplines to describe empirical facts in the field of international relations, and redefined concepts from other disciplines according to the characteristics of the field of international relations. In the process of constructing the independent body of knowledge that originates in China, the conceptual innovation provides the necessary foundation for the construction of the body of knowledge of international relations in China.

The revolution of behavioralism and the concept of international regimes provided academic background for replacement of the new institutionalism for the old institutionalism. At least, the new institutionalism has been divided into three different types of new institutionalism: rational choice institutionalism, sociological institutionalism and historical institutionalism. As far as the basic logic of action is concerned, the rational choice institutionalism can be ascribed to the logic of expected consequences, and sociological institutionalism can be attributed to the logic of appropriateness. However, rational choice institutionalism and sociological institutionalism share the same concept of efficient histories. On the contrary, the historical institutionalists insist that histories are often inefficient and thus bring history back in their institutional approach.
