| International strategy studies have always been the focus of theinternational relaitons field. History repeatedly shows that any rise of powerneeds a set of scientific and complete theory of international strategy for theescort. Since China’s reform and opening up, the process of China’s rise isaccelerated, the world is undergoing profound changes and the importance ofChina’s international strategy theory study is increasingly significant. Alongwith the rise of China’s comprehensive national strength and China’sinternational influence, China needs to build an effective system ofinternational strategy theory to meet the need of further development. Theconstruction of China’s international strategy theory system has been on theagenda. Since the1980s, China’s international strategy researchachievements can be divided into four categories: the real problem, leaders’international strategic thought study, discipline construction and internationalstrategy theory. Overall, the academic study more of three types before, andthe study of international strategy theory is relatively small. The study ofChina’s international strategy theory system is obviously insufficient, and theexisting research results would not be enough to build a scientific andcomplete system of China’s international strategy theory.This paper is beginning with the origin and development of China’sinternational strategy theory. Grasp the origin of the Chinese internationalstrategy theory according to the history and reality, internal and externalintegrated logical train of thought, from point of view to Chinese tradition,contemporary practice, western experience and guide of Marxist. According tothe historical context, analyze Chinese international strategy theory evolutionhappened at the beginning of reform and opening up, and the importantbreakthrough of China’s international strategy theory at the end of the cold war, especially since the21st century. As a significant research subject,construction of China’s international strategy theory system will be discussedsystemly.This paper has seven chapters besides the introduction. The first chaptermainly analyzes the concept of international strategy and builds a researchframework of this paper. The four chapters followed analyze and summarizemain components of China’s international strategy respectively from the theoryorigin, practice basis, guiding ideology and the beneficial reference. The sixthchapter mainly summarizes China’s international strategy theory transmutationand breakthrough. Chapter7is mainly analyzing the path of constructingChina’s international strategic theory system.Chapter1aims to build theoretical research framework of this paper.Determine the concept of international strategy which is the core concept ofthis paper. And then discusses the significance of theoretical analysis andframework analysis to China’s international strategic. Finally, analyze China’sinternational strategy theory development course briefly, summarizes keyfactors at different stages, so as to draw the outline of the developmentprocess of China’s international strategy theory, which is analysis framework ofthis paper.Chapter2aims to analyze traditional strategic thought which is source ofChina’s international strategic thought theory and its contemporary value.Firstly, analyze and sum up the dominant idea of the Chinese traditionalstrategic thought on the political, economic, cultural and security; and thenexplore the contemporary value of the traditional Chinese strategic thought inthe concept of national sovereignty, common interests, respecting the diversityof civilization and defensive realism on the security; finally summarize newChina how to inherit the essence of the traditional strategic thought in practiceof China’s international strategy, and continue the life and vitality of Chinesetraditional strategic thought. Chinese traditional strategic thought is thefoundation and philosophy source of contemporary China’s international strategy theory.Chapter3aims to analyze the practice experience of contemporaryChina’s international strategy, so as to generate the solid foundation ofpractices. Through combing the six stages of development since the foundingof new China, it summarizes the basic experience of China’s internationalstrategy formulation and implementation; and finally, it forms the core target,spiritual motivation, basic premise and the base of thought form the theoreticalknowledge. As the practice basis of the China’s international strategy theory,combing and summarizing China’s international strategic practice is of greatsignificance. It is a contemporary part of China’s international strategy theorysource, and the causes of international strategy theory with Chinesecharacteristics.Chapter4aims to summarize the guiding sense of Marxism internationalstrategic thought to the development of China’s international strategy theory.The first section summarizes the basic content of the Marxism internationalstrategic thought, including country, international cooperation, the history of theworld, war and revolution, the international and national related theory.Thesecond section mainly explore the guidelines of Marxism international strategicthought, including the historical materialism method, materialist dialectics,practical method and the method of criticism. Section3summarizes thecontribution of Marxism international strategic thought to the Chineseinternational strategy theory, and it mainly focus on the values, on theguidance of methodology and practice. Through this guidance, China’sinternational strategy theory formed a relatively comprehensive system ofguidance in the macro level (ideals and goals), medium level (main theoryresearch method) and micro level (the problem in the field of practiceexploration), enriching the system of international strategy theory and laid thefoundation of principle.Chapter5aims to analyze the reference value of western internationalrelations theory and strategic thought to China’s international strategy theory. Firstly, briefly card the history of the western international relations theory andstrategic thought, and grasp its theoretical trends. Then from the Angle ofmethodology, three major schools of western international relations theory-realism, liberalism and constructivism are analyzed. Finally, it summarizesthree points of reference value of western international relations theory andstrategic thought to China’s international strategy theory. As one origin ofChina’s international strategy theory, western international relations theoryprovides a basic paradigm to build the theoretical system, includes the conceptsystem and basic methodology system, and grand strategic thought providesan important revelation to macro architecture of China’s international strategytheory.Chapter6explores changes and breakthrough of China’s internationalstrategy theory in the new era. Firstly, analyze to summarize the developmentof Chinese international strategy theory of external and internal factors andideas from the perspective of international structure change, developmentneeds and ideas change. Then summarize the transformation of internationalstrategy theory in the era theme, the guiding ideology, and the change ofstrategic path and cultural aspects.Then sum up the latest breakthrough ofChina’s international strategy theory: putting forward the path of peacefuldevelopment, and carrying out the new security concept, new ideas for theconstruction of international order, interaction and win-win opening-up strategy,new ideas of promoting world peace and development, and graduallyperfecting the theory of common interests. Finally, analyze one features of thecurrent China’s international strategy theory—common interests. The thirdsection explores the practice of common interests of China’s internationalstrategy. Through the analysis and summary, we believe that the concept ofcommon interests have been integrated into the Chinese international strategytheory. With China’s sustained international strategic practice and the constantimprovement of China’s international strategy theory system, the commoninterest will reveal important role and value in practice and theory. Chapter7explores the significance of the construction of China’sinternational strategy theory system. The first section mainly discusses fivebranches (experience theory, gauge theory, rational theory, prediction theoryand practical theory) of China’s international strategy theory system theory inthe future. In the second quarter, from the moral perspective of China’sinternational strategy theory, explore how to achieve the moral risesuccessfully under the premise of China’s improved national strength.The thirdquarter aims to sum up the significance of constructing the system of China’sinternational strategy theory. The significance is mainly reflected in: theconstruction of China’s international strategy theory system enriched anddeveloped Marxist international strategic thought, enhanced the systemictheory of international strategy, improve the level of China’s internationalstrategy, open the vision of China international strategy.All in all, by the research methods of longitudinal analysis and horizontalanalysis at the same time, we can build a comprehensive theoretical researchframework, which contains the main part of China’s international strategytheory system, and form a systematic understanding of China’s internationalstrategy theory. As a master of China’s international strategy theory system, itcoordinates all of the factors of Chinese foreign relations and forms regularunderstanding, provides unprecedented analysis frame and theory field ofvision for China’s international strategy, and shapes more open mentality andvision. |
