Since the economic, military and political rise of China began in the last few decades, Chinese scholars have been advocating for a new international relations theory based on Confucian values. These efforts have culminated in the creation of various theories by Chinese and Taiwanese scholars, namely the Relational Theory of World Politics and the Balance of Relationships theory. In this study, these two theories are utilized to examine China’s behavior towards various multilateral organizations, many of which are led by Beijing. The study analyzes China’s perception of multilateralism by examining the cases of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization, Association of Southeast Asian Nations, BRICS, and the Belt & Road Initiative and the Cooperation Between China and Central and Eastern European Countries (16+1). Additionally, it explores how China’s evolving discourse on bilateralism, multilateralism, and multipolarity reflects the relational thinking of Chinese policymakers. The results indicate that Beijing’s policies towards these international organizations can be explained by applying IR theories rooted in Confucian relationality. The narrative of Beijing policymakers also reflects their relational mindset.參考文獻 Chinese References 人民日報海外版 (2020) ,「習近平與中國文化遺產保護」。 人民網, 2020年05月19日。date accessed: 1 November 2023, http://cpc.people.com.cn/BIG5/n1/2020/0519/c64094-31714510.html 丑則静 (2022) , 「維霸遏華的“小圈子政治”注定沒有前途」。宣講家網 。date accessed: 18 May 2023, http://www.71.cn/2022/0830/1177634.shtml 中華人民共和國外交部 (2022) , 「王毅：堅持踐行真正的多邊主義」 中華人民共和國外交部 (mfa.gov.cn) 。 date accessed: 23 December 2023, https://www.mfa.gov.cn/web/wjbzhd/202207/t20220708_10717693.shtml 何芳川 (1992) 。 《華夷秩序論》。 北京大學學報, 6(1998) 。 岩井茂樹 (2006) 。「16-18 世紀東亞的國際商業與互市體制」。 東アジア研 究 46(2006) 。 秦 亞 青 (2009) 。 「關係本位與過程建構 : 將中國理念植入國際關係理論」,中國社會科學, 2009 年第 3 期 。 張文宗 (Zhang Wenzong) (2023) “U.S. Deterrence and Coercive Diplomacy toward China and China’s Response 「美國對華威懾與脅迫及中國應對」,” Interpret: China, Original work published December 20, 2016, https://interpret.csis.org/translations/u-s-deterrence-and-coercive-diplomacy-toward-china-and-chinas-response/ 陳向陽，董春岭與韓立群 (2023) “Deep Comprehension of the Global Security Initiative: Coordinating Our Own Security and Common Security 「深刻領悟全球安全倡議 統籌自身和共同安全」,” Interpret: China, Original work published May 9, 2022, https://interpret.csis.org/translations/deep-comprehension-of-the-global-security-initiative-coordinating-our-own-security-and-common-security/ 陳志敏 (2022) , 「真正的多邊主義的理論内涵」,求是網 QS Theory。http://www.qstheory.cn/qshyjx/2022-01/17/c_1128269002.htm 國務院辦公廳 (2006) ,「更好地實施「走出去」戰略」, 中央政府門戶網站。date accessed: 6 October 2023, https://www.gov.cn/node_11140/2006-03/15/content_227686.htm 陳超 (Chen Chao) and 王義桅 (Wang Yiwei) (2023), “Synergies Between the Global Development Initiative and the Belt and Road Initiative 「全球發展倡倡議與“一帶一路”協同增效」,” Interpret: China, Original work published May 27, 2022, https://interpret.csis.org/translations/synergies-between-global-development-initiative-and-the-belt-and-road-initiative/ 張愛茹 (2014) ,「從“小康”到“全面小康”——鄧小平小康社會理論形成和發展述論」人民網。date accessed: 14 October 2023, http://cpc.people.com.cn/n/2014/0714/c69113-25279758.html 馮玉軍 (Feng Yujun) (2023) , “The Post-Russia-Ukraine Conflict World: Not a “Splitting into Camps,” but Rather a “Small Divergence” 「俄烏衝突後的世界：不是“陣營化,”而是“小分流” 」” Interpret: China, Original work published July 22, 2022, https://interpret.csis.org/translations/the-post-russia-ukraine-conflict-world-not-a-splitting-into-camps-but-rather-a-small-divergence/ 復旦歐洲觀察 (Fudan Europe Watch) (2023) , “The 10th Anniversary of Cooperation Between China and Central and Eastern Europe: How to Continue to Maintain Steady Progress in the Future 「中國與中東歐合作十週年：未來如何持續行穩致遠」” Interpret: China, Original work published July 2, 2022, https://interpret.csis.org/translations/the-10th-anniversary-of-cooperation-between-china-and-central-and-eastern-europe-how-to-continue-to-maintain-steady-progress-in-the-future/ 黃枝連 (1992) , 《亞洲的華夏秩序:中國與亞洲國家關係形態論》, 北京, 中國人民大學出版社。 黃雅慧 (2023) ,「博鰲論壇秘書長：在不確定中找確定 張揚真正多邊主義」, 經濟日報。date accessed: 18 May 2023, https://money.udn.com/money/story/5603/7061580?from=edn_related_storybottom 傅夢孜 (Fu Mengzi) (2023) ,“Global Security Initiative: China’s Answer to Challenges 「全球安全倡議： 應對挑戰的中國答案」” Interpret: China, Original work published September 6, 2022, https://interpret.csis.org/translations/global-security-initiative-chinas-answer-to-challenges/ 廖 凡 (2023) , 「堅持真正的多邊主義」,光明網-理論頻道 。date accessed: 16 May 2023, https://theory.gmw.cn/2023-01/31/content_36333779.htm 環球網 (2023) , 「俄方痛批美拉幫結派，多國籲抵制單邊制裁，安理會激辯真偽多邊主義」, Sina 新聞中心。date accessed: 4 May 2023, https://news.sina.com.cn/w/2023-04-26/doc-imyrrzpv4228036.shtml English References Acharya, A. and Buzan, B.

These efforts have culminated in the creation of various theories by Chinese and Taiwanese scholars, namely the Relational Theory of World Politics and the Balance of Relationships theory. In this study, these two theories are utilized to examine China’s behavior towards various multilateral organizations, many of which are led by Beijing. The study analyzes China’s perception of multilateralism by examining the cases of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization, Association of Southeast Asian Nations, BRICS, and the Belt & Road Initiative and the Cooperation Between China and Central and Eastern European Countries (16+1). Additionally, it explores how China’s evolving discourse on bilateralism, multilateralism, and multipolarity reflects the relational thinking of Chinese policymakers. The results indicate that Beijing’s policies towards these international organizations can be explained by applying IR theories rooted in Confucian relationality. The narrative of Beijing policymakers also reflects their relational mindset. en_US dc.description.tableofcontents TABLE OF CONTENTS Acknowledgements ii 摘要 iii Abstract iv List of Tables vii List of Figures viii CHAPTER 1: INTRODUCTION 1 1.1 The Rise of China and IR Scholarship 4 1.2 Research Question and Methodology 8 1.3 Outline of the Study 22 CHAPTER 2: CHINESE RELATIONALITY IN ANCIENT AND MODERN TIMES 24 2.1 Western Relationality and the Relational Turn in Social Sciences 25 2.2 Confucianism and Ancient Chinese Thought 30 2.2.1 Hundred Schools of Thought 31 2.2.2 Confucianism 36 2.2.3 Legalism 49 2.2.4 Mohism 51 2.2.5 Confucianism and Legalism during the Qin Dynasty 53 2.2.6 The Confucian Conception of Order and Relationships 54 2.2.7 The Concept of Tianxia 59 2.2.8 Inner and Outer Domains 62 2.2.9 Tributary System 63 2.3 Implications of Ancient Chinese Theories to Contemporary International Relations 65 CHAPTER 3: CHINESE THEORIES OF RELATIONAL IR 69 3.1 Representational Relations Theory 71 3.2 Relational Theory of World Politics 107 3.3 Balance of Relationships (BoR) Theory 115 CHAPTER 4: CHINA’S APPROACH TO MULTILATERALISM: CASE STUDIES AND DISCOURSE ANALYSIS 125 4.1 Bilateralism and Multilateralism 125 4.2 Case Studies: China’s Relations with Multilateral Organizations 129 4.2.1 Chinese-led Multilateralism: The case of SCO 131 4.2.2 China’s Relations with ASEAN 140 4.2.3 Chinese-led Multilateralism: The Case of BRICS 148 4.2.4 China’s Approach to Multilateralism: The case of BRI 151 4.2.5 China and Central and East European Countries (CEEC) Cooperation Mechanism (16+1) 154 4.3 Chinese Policymakers’ Conception of Multilateralism 157 CHAPTER 5: CONCLUSION 168 5.1 Summary 168 5.2 Findings 169 5.3 Limitations and Future Studies 173 References 175 zh_TW dc.format.extent 1493627 bytes -
