中東路事件可說是中國民族主義嘗試挑戰蘇聯在東北的利權，不論成敗，列強在中國的勢力版圖必然有所變動。追求列強在華勢力均等的英國，按理不會任由事態發展而不插手。而其自身面對中國民族主義挑戰的經驗，英國縱使不向當時非盟友的蘇聯傳授心得，也必定會與其他列強相聯絡。過往研究沒有看到英國的任何明顯行動，也沒有見到為何英國沒有任何行動的解釋，更沒有見到使用英國檔案為主的視角。本篇論文以這疑問出發，嘗試使用英國外交部檔案，來考察英國在中東路事件當中，究竟採取什麼態度，是否有什麼政策，進行什麼活動。並藉由英國對中東路事件的考察視角，關照南京外交在中東路事件的行動，從中得到一些與過去中東路事件研究不同的成果。

「中國和平崛起」這個名詞於2003年的博鰲論壇上第一次被公開提出，引起全球熱烈討論。姑且不論中國的和平崛起本質上是否真為「和平」，本文中心意旨在討論中國崛起後，它最大也是最親密的鄰國－俄羅斯將如何看待這個亦敵亦友的大國在經濟、軍事等各方面的巨大轉變。而本文作者認為，看來正朝向親密戰略合作夥伴關係前進的中俄兩國間，其中仍存有許多可能阻礙其發展的重要因素。 / The term "China's peaceful rise" was first introduced at the 2003 annual session of the Boao Forum for Asia (BFA) and has become a hot topic drawing international attention. This thesis focuses on the changing relationship between Russia and China, especially in the period after the collapse of USSR. The new Russia and China have built their strategic partnership on diplomatic, military, and economic aspects during the period of China’s rise. During this period both countries also faced a transforming climate in their societies, with a different ideological environment, different forms of inner-party life and a different “style of work” being formed and changed rapidly at every decision-making moment. In the history of Sino-Soviet relations we can easily see that Mao Zedong won control of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and lead it to victory by repeatedly defying Stalin’s advice, which also contributed to the formation of a Chinese Communist leadership that is highly conscious of those differences. Since the beginning of the new Russia, the so-called “peaceful rise of China” theory as a matter of course has been highly doubted. This thesis shows that many of the factors currently improving Sino-Russian relations are unlikely to sustain the current positive relationship and instead are likely to cause a divergence in their relationship, which is understood by looking at hidden factors from apparent clues that might cause a divergence between the two countries in the near future. Keywords: China, Russia, International Relations, Sino-Soviet Relations, “China’s peaceful Rise”
