Previous studies that explains different performances of environmental governance have primarily focused on the impacts of domestic factors. In recent years, there has been an increasing body of research examining the relationship between China’s foreign aid policies and environmental governance in developing countries. However, most of these studies adopt a small-N research design, and their empirical findings are largely inconsistent. Unlike previous studies, this thesis adopts a mixed-methods approach to systematically investigate the effects of China’s foreign aid on environmental governance in developing countries. The empirical analyses suggest that China’s foreign aid has a negative impact on the environmental governance of recipient countries. Moreover, the findings indicate that the effects of China’s foreign aid on the environmental governance in the recipient country are partially mediated by the regulatory quality of the recipient country. In addition to the quantitative analyses, this thesis conducts a case study of the Bui Dam in Ghana, utilizing a process-tracing method to further elucidate the theoretical mechanism by which China’s aid affects the receipient country’s environmental governance. Overall, this thesis makes an empirical contribution to the exising literature on China’s foreign aid, and it also provides important policy implications for the issues of environmental governance in developing countries.參考文獻 中國進出口銀行，2007，〈中國進出口銀行貸款項目環境與社會評價指導意見〉，中國進出口銀行網站：https://www.followingthemoney.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/2007081.pdf，檢索日期：2023年5月23日。中國進出口銀行，2019，〈中國進出口銀行綠色金融和社會責任白皮書〉，中國進出口銀行網站：http://www.eximbank.gov.cn/info/WhitePOGF/202001/P020200115377992690034.pdf，檢索日期：2022年10月26日。中國網，2009，〈周恩來發表中國政府對外經濟技術援助八項原則〉，中國網網站：http://www.china.com.cn/fangtan/zhuanti/2009-03/18/content_17464417.htm，檢索日期：2023年04月01日。中華人民共和國中央人民政府，2021，〈中華人民共和國與各國建立外交關係日期簡表〉，中華人民共和國中央人民政府網站，http://big5.www.gov.cn/gate/big5/www.gov.cn/guoqing/2017-06/14/content_5202420.htm，檢索日期：2023年03月22日。中華人民共和國外交部，2022a，〈攜手共進推動全球發展倡議，合力譜寫共同發展新篇章〉，中華人民共和國外交部網站： https://www.fmprc.gov.cn/wjbzhd/202209/t20220921_10769127.shtml，檢索日期：2022年11月18日。中華人民共和國外交部，2022b，〈王毅主持「全球發展倡議之友小組」部長級會議〉，中華人民共和國外交部網站：https://www.fmprc.gov.cn/wjbzhd/202209/t20220921_10769011.shtml，檢索日期：2022年11月18日。中華人民共和國商務部，2010，〈2009年度中國對外直接投資統計公報〉，中華人民共和國商務部網站：http://images.mofcom.gov.cn/fec/201512/20151204090554825.pdf，檢索日期：2023年03月22日。中華人民共和國商務部，2011，〈2010年度中國對外直接投資統計公報〉，中華人民共和國商務部網站： http://images.mofcom.gov.cn/fec/201512/20151204090043062.pdf，檢索日期：2023年03月22日。中華人民共和國商務部，2020，〈2019年度中國對外直接投資統計公報〉，中華人民共和國商務部網站： http://images.mofcom.gov.cn/hzs/202010/20201029172027652.pdf，檢索日期：2023年03月22日。中華人民共和國國務院新聞辦公室，2011，〈中國的對外援助〉，中華人民共和國國務院新聞辦公室網站：http://www.scio.gov.cn/zfbps/ndhf/2011/Document/896983/896983_3.htm，檢索日期：2022年10月26日。中華人民共和國國務院新聞辦公室，2012，〈中國能源政策白皮書〉，中華人民共和國國務院新聞辦公室網站： http://www.scio.gov.cn/zfbps/ndhf/2012/Document/1233790/1233790.htm，檢索日期：2022年10月06日。中華人民共和國國務院新聞辦公室，2014，〈中國的對外援助〉，中華人民共和國國務院新聞辦公室網站：http://www.scio.gov.cn/zfbps/ndhf/2014/Document/1375013/1375013.htm，檢索日期：2022年05月22日。平思寧，2019，〈中國援助與非洲石油：石油生產與價格的效果〉，《台灣政治學刊》，23(2): 145-196。平思寧、王靖興、王諠勉，2023，〈中國非發展金援的政治風險分析〉，《台灣政治學刊》，26(2): 179-234。張文揚，2014，〈民主與環境治理－一個遴選集團理論的解釋〉，《臺灣民主季刊》，11(3): 1-39。張文揚、平思寧，2017，〈自然資源也詛咒了環境表現嗎？一個跨國實證的分析〉，《台灣政治學刊》，21(2): 181-234。薛健吾，2019，〈民主程度和發展程度對各國二氧化碳排放治理的影響〉，《臺灣民主季刊》，16(2): 65-117。Agostino, Mariarosaria, Annamaria Nifo, Francesco Trivieri, and Gaetano Vecchione. 2020. “Rule of Law and Regulatory Quality as Drivers of Entrepreneurship.” Regional Studies 54(6): 814-826.Ahmed, Faisal Z. 2012. “The Perils of Unearned Foreign Income: Aid, Remittances, and Government Survival.” American Political Science Review 106(1): 146-165.AidData. 2017. “Global Chinese Official Finance Dataset, Version 1.0.” https://www.aiddata.org/data/chinese-global-official-finance-dataset-version-1-0.

In recent years, there has been an increasing body of research examining the relationship between China’s foreign aid policies and environmental governance in developing countries. However, most of these studies adopt a small-N research design, and their empirical findings are largely inconsistent. Unlike previous studies, this thesis adopts a mixed-methods approach to systematically investigate the effects of China’s foreign aid on environmental governance in developing countries. The empirical analyses suggest that China’s foreign aid has a negative impact on the environmental governance of recipient countries. Moreover, the findings indicate that the effects of China’s foreign aid on the environmental governance in the recipient country are partially mediated by the regulatory quality of the recipient country. In addition to the quantitative analyses, this thesis conducts a case study of the Bui Dam in Ghana, utilizing a process-tracing method to further elucidate the theoretical mechanism by which China’s aid affects the receipient country’s environmental governance. Overall, this thesis makes an empirical contribution to the exising literature on China’s foreign aid, and it also provides important policy implications for the issues of environmental governance in developing countries. en_US dc.description.tableofcontents 目次第一章 緒論 1第一節 研究動機與目的 1第二節 影響一國環境治理的因素 5第二章 中國對外援助政策與受援國的環境治理 13第一節 中國對外援助政策的緣起、目標與發展 13第二節 中國對外援助政策的特色與效應 20第三節 中國對外援助政策與發展中環境治理：一個國際政治經濟學的解釋 25第三章 研究設計 36第一節 分析單位與研究範圍 36第二節 量化研究設計 37第三節 案例研究設計 43第四章 實證結果 48第一節 中國對外援助對於受援國環境治理的影響 48第二節 理論機制驗證：以受援國監管品質作為中介變數 57第三節 穩健性檢測 61第五章 案例分析：中國對外援助與迦納的環境治理 70第一節 中國對外援助與迦納基礎建設的發展 70第二節 中國對外援助與迦納的監管品質 76第三節 布維大壩所造成的環境與社會問題 78第四節 過程追溯法的分析 82第六章 結論 85參考文獻 89附錄 121 zh_TW dc.format.extent 2705297 bytes - dc.format.mimetype application/pdf - dc.source.uri (資料來源) http://thesis.lib.nccu.edu.tw/record/#G0110252006 en_US dc.subject (關鍵詞) 中國 zh_TW dc.subject (關鍵詞) 外國援助 zh_TW dc.subject (關鍵詞) 環境治理 zh_TW dc.subject (關鍵詞) 森林砍伐 zh_TW dc.subject (關鍵詞) 監管品質 zh_TW dc.subject (關鍵詞) 發展中國家 zh_TW dc.subject (關鍵詞) China en_US dc.subject (關鍵詞) Foreign aid en_US dc.subject (關鍵詞) Environmental governance en_US dc.subject (關鍵詞) Deforestation en_US dc.subject (關鍵詞) Regulatory quality en_US dc.subject (關鍵詞) Developing countries en_US dc.title (題名) 中國對外援助政策與發展中國家的環境治理 zh_TW dc.title (題名) China’s Foreign Aid Policy and Environmental Governance in Developing Countries en_US dc.type (資料類型) thesis en_US dc.relation.reference (參考文獻) 中國進出口銀行，2007，〈中國進出口銀行貸款項目環境與社會評價指導意見〉，中國進出口銀行網站：https://www.followingthemoney.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/2007081.pdf，檢索日期：2023年5月23日。中國進出口銀行，2019，〈中國進出口銀行綠色金融和社會責任白皮書〉，中國進出口銀行網站：http://www.eximbank.gov.cn/info/WhitePOGF/202001/P020200115377992690034.pdf，檢索日期：2022年10月26日。中國網，2009，〈周恩來發表中國政府對外經濟技術援助八項原則〉，中國網網站：http://www.china.com.cn/fangtan/zhuanti/2009-03/18/content_17464417.htm，檢索日期：2023年04月01日。中華人民共和國中央人民政府，2021，〈中華人民共和國與各國建立外交關係日期簡表〉，中華人民共和國中央人民政府網站，http://big5.www.gov.cn/gate/big5/www.gov.cn/guoqing/2017-06/14/content_5202420.htm，檢索日期：2023年03月22日。中華人民共和國外交部，2022a，〈攜手共進推動全球發展倡議，合力譜寫共同發展新篇章〉，中華人民共和國外交部網站： https://www.fmprc.gov.cn/wjbzhd/202209/t20220921_10769127.shtml，檢索日期：2022年11月18日。中華人民共和國外交部，2022b，〈王毅主持「全球發展倡議之友小組」部長級會議〉，中華人民共和國外交部網站：https://www.fmprc.gov.cn/wjbzhd/202209/t20220921_10769011.shtml，檢索日期：2022年11月18日。中華人民共和國商務部，2010，〈2009年度中國對外直接投資統計公報〉，中華人民共和國商務部網站：http://images.mofcom.gov.cn/fec/201512/20151204090554825.pdf，檢索日期：2023年03月22日。中華人民共和國商務部，2011，〈2010年度中國對外直接投資統計公報〉，中華人民共和國商務部網站： http://images.mofcom.gov.cn/fec/201512/20151204090043062.pdf，檢索日期：2023年03月22日。中華人民共和國商務部，2020，〈2019年度中國對外直接投資統計公報〉，中華人民共和國商務部網站： http://images.mofcom.gov.cn/hzs/202010/20201029172027652.pdf，檢索日期：2023年03月22日。中華人民共和國國務院新聞辦公室，2011，〈中國的對外援助〉，中華人民共和國國務院新聞辦公室網站：http://www.scio.gov.cn/zfbps/ndhf/2011/Document/896983/896983_3.htm，檢索日期：2022年10月26日。中華人民共和國國務院新聞辦公室，2012，〈中國能源政策白皮書〉，中華人民共和國國務院新聞辦公室網站： http://www.scio.gov.cn/zfbps/ndhf/2012/Document/1233790/1233790.htm，檢索日期：2022年10月06日。中華人民共和國國務院新聞辦公室，2014，〈中國的對外援助〉，中華人民共和國國務院新聞辦公室網站：http://www.scio.gov.cn/zfbps/ndhf/2014/Document/1375013/1375013.htm，檢索日期：2022年05月22日。平思寧，2019，〈中國援助與非洲石油：石油生產與價格的效果〉，《台灣政治學刊》，23(2): 145-196。平思寧、王靖興、王諠勉，2023，〈中國非發展金援的政治風險分析〉，《台灣政治學刊》，26(2): 179-234。張文揚，2014，〈民主與環境治理－一個遴選集團理論的解釋〉，《臺灣民主季刊》，11(3): 1-39。張文揚、平思寧，2017，〈自然資源也詛咒了環境表現嗎？一個跨國實證的分析〉，《台灣政治學刊》，21(2): 181-234。薛健吾，2019，〈民主程度和發展程度對各國二氧化碳排放治理的影響〉，《臺灣民主季刊》，16(2): 65-117。Agostino, Mariarosaria, Annamaria Nifo, Francesco Trivieri, and Gaetano Vecchione. 2020. “Rule of Law and Regulatory Quality as Drivers of Entrepreneurship.” Regional Studies 54(6): 814-826.Ahmed, Faisal Z. 2012. “The Perils of Unearned Foreign Income: Aid, Remittances, and Government Survival.” American Political Science Review 106(1): 146-165.AidData. 2017. “Global Chinese Official Finance Dataset, Version 1.0.” https://www.aiddata.org/data/chinese-global-official-finance-dataset-version-1-0.
