Practical Exploration And Path Analysis Of China's Participation In Arctic Affairs

In recent years,due to changes in the Arctic climate and the Arctic ice and snow melting speed,the Arctic strategic position,energy reserves and commercial value has gradually been the concern of countries.Especially the high hopes for the Arctic channel,will be likely to become the future of international trade,"golden waterway." The Arctic Council,represented by the United States,Canada,Russia,Finland,Sweden,Norway,Denmark,Iceland,dominated the Arctic Council with the Arctic Council,waving the Arctic version of the "Arrival" on the one hand,;On the other hand also stepped up competition for the Arctic,friction between each other constantly.China will incorporate the Arctic region into China's "strategic new territory" of China's national security in 2015,and China's participation in Arctic affairs is given more national security.China's participation in Arctic affairs has gone through a long journey.China's participation in the Arctic affairs began in scientific research,since 1999,China has carried out seven scientific visits to the Arctic,in one fell swoop laid the status of the Arctic scientific research power.In order to better participate in the Arctic research and other Arctic activities,China proposed to the Council of the Arctic as an "observer" of the Council to obtain "reasonable" Arctic status,after six years of efforts,China was formally accepted as a director Will be "observers" for the future in-depth participation in the development of the Arctic lay the foundation.At the same time,China also proceeded to promote the development process of the Arctic,the development of Arctic resources.The trial of the Arctic channel is another key area for China's development of the Arctic,although it is still in its infancy,but overall good momentum of development.Legitimacy,necessity and obligation are the three motives involved in the Arctic.From the point of view of legitimacy,China's participation in the Arctic affairs is,above all,the power conferred on China by the International Convention on the Law of the Sea,the due rights of the States parties to the Treaty of Svalbard and the legal rights of the members of category A of the International Maritime Organization;Based on the provisions of international treaties and cooperation agreements,such as China's participation in the Arctic Treaty on the Protection of Endangered Animals,Arctic scientific research involving the "International Arctic Science Committee Constitution Clause" and bilateral cooperation agreement.From the point of view of reasonableness,first of all,China is one of the victims of the Arctic climate change,which not only leads to the increase of catastrophic weather and sea level in China,but also increases the risk of scientific research and development in China.In the Arctic region,Resources,shipping and security of the three major interests of the demands.From an obligatory point of view,China's participation in Arctic affairs is both a duty as a responsible big country and as an obligation for the Arctic Council observers.China's participation in Arctic affairs is facing multiple dilemmas.As the Arctic Council occupies a dominant position in the Arctic affairs,the extent to which China's participation in Arctic affairs depends to a large extent on the extent to which China participates in the Arctic Council.However,due to the imperfection of the mechanism of the Council and the existence of exclusivity,it has faced many difficulties in the process of China's participation.The first is the plight of the internal governance mechanism,including the "soft law" basis and the "hard law" the reality of the plight of the plight of the monopoly and the coexistence of the monopoly and the shortcomings of the "hard to participate" and "strict restrictions" Mechanism dilemma.Followed by the interests of the game brought about by the plight of the country,on the one hand reflected in the interests of the country in the arctic countries,on the other hand also reflects the interests of the region and outside the country's interests;the third is the status of China's participation in the plight of the main performance for the existing The identity of the multi-position identified by the multiple recognition of the Arctic mechanism,and the strategic dilemma posed by multiple identities.Three Paths for China 's Participation in Arctic Affairs.In this paper,the process of China's participation in Arctic affairs is divided into three stages,that is,uphold the pragmatic attitude,into the recent path of Arctic governance;attention to foreign countries,seeking multi-cooperation medium-term path and promote the mechanism of reform,participation in the construction of the forward path.China through these three stages of participation in practice,and gradually get the Arctic Council recognition,through the fight for Arctic affairs of the right to speak,and ultimately promote the Arctic governance mechanism of innovation and improvement.
