China And The United States On The Korean Peninsula Study Of The Interaction (1950-present)

This paper explores the Sino-US interaction-process on the Korean issue since 1950's, trying to answer the following questions in particular: how dose the Sino-US interaction-process on the Korean issue evolve? How the variables in the environment and the interaction intensity affect this process? Why the both parties change their policies and behavior?This paper is characterized by the following: theoretically, it constructs a theory on interaction among states, the approach empirical analysis in this paper; structurally, this paper analyzes on the structure of "variables in the environment - Sino-US interaction process - interaction's intensity and satisfying-behavior"; logically, the paper follows the logic of "policy-makers cognizing the primary national interests -making policies and behaving - affecting the model of Sino-US interaction-process on the Korean issue.The Introduction defines the research object and approach and addresses what is creative and difficult in the paper.Chapter One deals with the construction of theories. It summarizes the conceptions of "interaction" of IR theories and explains why, the game theory, as an interaction theory, can not be adopted to the paper and defines the approach in the paper. This chapter designs two analytical variables, namely Circumstances and Interaction intensities, and elaborates on the Satisfying Behavior Model in the case of Sino-US interaction. At last, this chapter builds a complete Interaction Theories of nation-actors by defining "Interaction", analyzing the interaction-mechanism between actors, and classifying Interaction Models.Chapter Two examines the objective and subjective circumstances around Korean War Period (on the international background and that of Sino-US relations) and psychological environment of policy-makers in the two countries. It explores the series of Sino-US interaction during the Korean War, namely, "Martial Interaction of Conflict". And then, this chapter elaborates on the holistic Interaction intensities of the two countries and their interaction intensities in Korean War. Finally, it explains some behaviors of China and the U.S. in the war with Satisfying Behavior Model.Chapter Three focuses on Sino-US interaction processes on the Korean Peninsular from 1954 to 1978. It defines these interactions as "Deterrence Interaction of Conflict" class. At the same time, this chapter makes a detailed study on objective and subjective circumstances in this period, including the international context, Sino-U.S. relationship, and the two country leaders' perception on each other. This chapter also elaborates the holistic Interaction Intensities and their interaction densities in this period and utilizes the Satisfying Behavior Model to explain the two countries' behaviors related to the Korean issue.Chapter Four makes a detailed study on Sino-US interactions on the Korean issue from 1979 to 1992. It points out that the form of the two countries' interactions had transformed from "Conflictive Interaction" to "Competitive Interaction" in this period. The current chapter also investigates the two variables (Circumstances and Interaction Densities) and makes use of the Satisfied Behavior Model to explain some of China and the U.S.'s behaviors in this case.Chapter Five focuses on Sino-US interactions on the Korea issue in the Post-Cold War era. It analyzes respectively the objective and subjective circumstances, the interaction-processes of the two countries, and their interaction intensities on the Korean issue. Finally, it explains the two countries' behaviors during the Korean Nuclear Crisis with Satisfying Behavior Model. Sino-US interaction in this period is catalogued as "Competitive-Cooperative Interaction".The Conclusion summarizes functions and application of Interaction Theory in the paper, their revelations to policies and the meaning of a further study.
