摘要

本文欲藉「軟實力」和「朝貢體系」檢驗中國對非洲政策。本文認為，缺少軟實力，中非關係很可能被推論為「上下從屬」。缺少朝貢體系的指引，又易掩蓋雙方政治往來的實質不平等，故兩者缺一不可。本文研究成果如下：藉物質和非物質利益的不對稱交換，中國擴大了非洲國家的支持；朝貢體系與軟實力的內涵類似，但在運作邏輯與權力選項上有異；中國著重以政策彰顯價值觀，這是一種軟實力的使用；中國使用軟、硬實力的邏輯，與朝貢體系的關係密切。

The purpose of this essay is to examine and explain the relationship between the concept of soft power (SP) and the traditional tributary system (TS) in China's African policy. In a nutshell, the findings of our research are as follows: firstly, China has earned African states' support in various fields by means of asymmetric exchange between material and non-material interests. Second, although the context of TS is similar to that of SP, the operating logic and power options of the former differ from those of the latter. Thirdly, China's policy is used to manifest its values, and that is the aim of SP. Fourthly, the logic behind China's exercise of power is influenced by its TS heritage. In future studies, TS and SP shall be compared and contrasted further, and the concept of power in traditional Western international relations will be used to explain China's foreign policy completely.
