International System and China＇s Asia-Pacific Strategy

What impact does a shift in the global distribution of power have on the international order？ According to the views of traditional realists, power transitions in the international order are usually accompanied by major wars, the best example being the two world wars of the twentieth century. China＇s peaceful rise is conducive to the peace and stability of Asia and Pacific regions. The steady rise of China＇s position and its role in dealing with international and regional problems have proved China＇s success in ＂cooperative security＂. This paper analyzes the security order in the Asia-Pacific region1 that China wants to construct to provide important guarantees to its peaceful rise. Firstly, I review and compare key arguments about the transition of international systems and China＇s Asia-Pacific strategy, Secondly, I investigate the dynamics between China＇s peaceful rise and the ＂cooperative security＂ which I think are the collective embodiments of modem transformation and the restructuring of China＇s traditional strategic culture. Thirdly, I examine how to construct a mechanism of cooperation in the Asia-Pacific region to guarantee China＇s peaceful rise on both political and economic levels. Economic cooperation and free trade in Asia-Pacific region is an important route to regional economic integrity which will guarantee China＇s role in maintaining the political and economic security in the region.

On China＇s Foreign Policy

There are two perspectives regarding the evolution of the international system： the survival of state and the survival of the world. From the first perspective, the international system is a typical of power-and-right-dominated culture, while the second perspective posits an international system is an obligation-dominated culture. The evolution from a power-dominated system to an obligation-dominated system is important.

China＇s International Vision and National Strategy

The global order was set in place following the end of the Second World War by a consortium of western countries headed by the U.S..Since then,the major western countries have strived to maintain their long dominance in global politics and economics.With the rise of nationalist movements,former colonies gained their independence,and many developing countries joined the UN.In recent years,the economies of the emerging powers have grown rapidly,and they have also joined the WTO.These changes have affected the post-War international order dominated by the West.The West still has the advantage in terms of stocks,and developing countries have the advantage in terms of variables and increments.

Thoughts on China's Foreign Strategy in the Early 21st Century

As I see it, China's foreign strategy pursues three goals in the early 21st centu-ry: goals of sustaining economic development, ensuring state security andshouldering legitimate international responsibility.

欧盟的对外战略

冷战时期,美国国务卿基辛格主张在资本主义阵营里实行“分工”：美国承担“全球性”任务,西欧承担“地区性”任务。其用意是限制西欧对外活动的范围。由于在冷战期间美国是全球性力量,西欧是地区性力量,西欧只能在事实上被迫接受这一主张。冷战后,多极化趋势不断发展,欧盟的综合实力超过了冷战时期的欧共体,它开始从地区性力量向全球性力量逐渐过渡。由于力量对比的变化,它越来越不满足于只承担“地区性”的任务。为此,欧盟制订了一系列对外战略。其对外战略的总目标是使自己成为与美国势均力敌的一极,该目标是与美国维护自己超级…
