China's Multilateral Diplomacy in Its Surrounding Areas: Theory and Practice

並列摘要


China's diplomacy and security thinking have undergone a fundamental change since it adopted reforms and an open-door policy in the 1980s. This paper first analyzes the causes and practices of China's multilateral diplomacy after the 1980s. This is followed by an examination of the concept of multilateralism in theories of international relations. Finally, this paper applies the concept of multilateralism to China's practice of multilateral diplomacy in its neighboring areas and then compares the concept with China's practice to see how this concept has been applied in China. The major finding of this paper is that China has developed a flexible practice of multilateralism with Chinese characteristics, through which China can consolidate its sovereignty. This is quite contrary to the traditional western concept of multilateralism, and it is an important area worthy of further investigation.
