Since the opening of economic reform in 1978, mainland China's national power as a whole has been greatly enhanced with more than two decades of economic development. Under the impact of such events as the First Persian Gulf War, the Kosovo War, global anti-terrorist attacks following the 9/11/01 Attacks on America, and the Second Persian Gulf War, mainland China has thus reconstructed its viewpoint of international as well as regional security. This thesis aims to inspect, from the perspective of international regime, China's policy towards UN peacekeeping operations and apply the rationale of Neo-liberal Institutionalism ( which is based on international regime theory ) to explaining and analyzing the evolution of China's peacekeeping policy. China's policy has made a drastic impact on current international relations, involving peace and stability not just of Asian-Pacific but of cross-Strait relations. Due to the two-handed strategy adopted in dealing with ongoing cross-Strait issues, China has always shown reluctance to renounce the use of military force on Taiwan up to the present. As a result, cross-Strait security is now being threatened from enormous military stress. Hopefully, both sides of the Taiwan Strait can resolve existing political conflicts by taking peaceful means. However, in the face of such threats from China's abrupt rise as well as having its veto exercised by force in the UN Security Council and then proceeding to play a zero-sum game in which pure competitions in foreign affairs are doomed to become intensified, I'm deeply convinced that, through peacekeeping operations as well as coordination and cooperation between regional/international organizations ( as they are probed into in the thesis ), possible cross-Strait conflicts can be reduced to a great extent.

中共改革開放後，經濟快速發展，能源需求高漲。自 1993 年成為石油淨進口國，石油消費量不斷擴大，產量卻無法大幅提升，石油供給不足的缺口正逐步擴大，對進口原油的依賴成為中共國家安全的潛在威脅。因此中共試圖以國有石油企業「走出去」到海外投資的能源外交政策，以達成供應安全、油源多元化目標。 本文以政治經濟途徑分析中共能源外交政策的發展，探討中共政府如何形成側重能源供應面的石油戰略，何以藉由國有石油企業海外投資做為政策工具，而發展出來的能源外交政策。如何推動能源外交政策以保證石油供應安全？中共能源外交活動究竟取得什麼樣的成果？又將面臨多大的挑戰？透過這幾個研究問題的驗證，本文認為中共能源外交活動以國家安全為主軸，以政府力量扶持三大石油企業海外投資活動，在某種程度上是代表國家力量的擴張，儼然成為國際能源體系不安全的因素，導致無法確保石油供應安全。未來中共能源安全策略雖仍以國家安全、經濟民族主義為基調，但可預見中共將更加積極參與國際能源貿易活動與國際能源組織，建構具有中國特色的能源外交政策。 關 鍵 詞：能源、能源安全、石油安全、中共外交、能源外交 英文關鍵詞：Energy, Energy Security, Oil Security, China's Foreign Policy , Energy Foreign Policy

The changes in China have transformed every aspect of its relationship with the outside world. Regarding to the domestic factors, they are mainly concentrated on Chinese interests which is its development. In the other hand, the external factors are basically concentrated on the relations among China and USA. This issue is followed by a discussion of the implications of United States in China s international engagement. As part of this study, it s aimed to examine the main adaptations of American Foreign Policy in post Cold War. American policy must display a sense of priorities which is keeping its role as the most powerful actor in the international order. Furthermore, as part of its strategy, the United States will address efforts to handle a workable and sustainable foreign policy with China. China is increasingly shaping international relations by its new role in the world and its rise. Therefore, it is very important to analyze the process of China s international engagement in the post Cold War era / Tomando por base a ordem internacional contemporânea, o presente trabalho aborda o processo de inserção internacional da China, buscando compreender a importância de estudar o peso dos fatores internos e externos na articulação de sua identidade externa. Numa perspectiva histórica, analisa-se o processo de definição da política externa chinesa e as suas peculiaridades que cristalizaram na sua configuração contemporânea. No campo dos fatores internos, estão compilados os interesses domésticos da China que reside na manutenção do desenvolvimento do país. Já no plano dos fatores externos, as relações sino-americanas desempenham uma importante importância no processo de inserção internacional da China. Em paralelo, busca-se compreender as adaptações da política externa norte-americana no pós Guerra Fria. O processo de inserção internacional da China é o tema central deste trabalho no qual se aborda a perspectiva de aprofundar a sua inserção na ordem global e a importância que hoje o país representa no reordenamento das relações internacionais.
