Since the outbreak of the two world wars, the international system has changed many times. As the traditional capitalist countries and some emerging powers still pursue the old international order concepts such as supporting the hegemonic order in the establishment of the international order and constructing the international system in line with their own national interests with the external manifestations still represented by the old diplomatic concepts such as chauvinism and unilateralism. In contrast, the member countries represented by the Non-Aligned Movement (NAM) and China, which pursues peaceful development, have promoted the development of Asia and the world with the help of the new diplomatic concept of consultation and cooperation. 2020, the handling of the conflict in the Galwan Valley by India and China can analyze the two different diplomatic concepts and the international order advocated by them. The old and new diplomatic philosophies and the countries' understanding of the international order behind them are a longer-term and clearer perspective for interpreting the foreign policies of countries in today's complex and changing international environment. This paper proposes a research paradigm that presents a different mode of thinking than the traditional one through the relationship between the international view of order and the external behavior of the state. It is an advancement in theoretical approach based on macro-historical and social perspectives combined with current micro perspectives to judge external military, diplomatic and other behaviors from the state's conception on the international order.
