After the 1990s, Japan has been deeply influenced by international trends as well as its own political and economic development. With the traditional Tenno system, Japan confronted the rapid rise and impact of the civilians' social consciousness. The change can be observed and traced back to the period after the Great Hanshin earthquake in 1995, when a volunteering civic engagement started automatically and later spread up the realization and implementation of the Non-Profit Organizations (NPO) Act. Based on my observations regarding legal regulations and institutional changes , this dissertation constructs a society-centered theory to explore and to analyze the relationship between the Japanese government and NPOs during the new period. This dissertation also seeks to explain how civic social ideologies developed and promoted the NPO Act and the establishment of the new JICA. In order to be more precise on the topic, I examine the change and the development by dividing the progress into ¡§traditional period¡¨ and ¡§new period¡¨ with after the cold war in the 1990s. On reviewing the changes of patterns and features of the development, I study the new interactive modes between state and society. The emphasis of this study is to show how Japan accelerated the NPO and ODA legal regulation and institutional changes. Furthermore, the study discusses how, the unique and new type of intermediate organizations, that support NPOs, developed after the execution of the NPO Act, and how those agencies provided local governments with NPOs cooperative partnership. In addition, this dissertation uses the platform of NPO Center of Chiba Prefecture as a case study, to analyze how to effectively combine members to spread the idea of ¡§NPO Prefecture,¡¨ and how to reorganize the system of new JICA in order to adopt outward environment and inward NPO participation. In other words, by demonstrating this new mode of cooperative partnership, the study expects to provide scholars with a reference of relative subjects and hopes to support the development of civil society in the developing countries.

中共與泰國於1975年建交後，雙方關係發展漸趨密切。1999年所簽署之《中華人民共和國與泰王國關於二十一世紀合作計畫聯合聲明》，明確指出雙邊關係的發展方向，兩國不斷推進在政治、經濟、軍事、及社會等各領域之合作。本論文主要探討新世紀迄今兩國在此四項領域之關係發展。 2001年雙邊簽署關於戰略性合作的《聯合公報》，2007年簽署首份《中泰戰略性合作共同行動計畫》，2012年簽署第二份《中泰戰略性合作共同行動計畫（2012-2016）》，並發表《中華人民共和國和泰王國關於建立全面戰略合作夥伴關係的聯合聲明》，雙邊關係再創高峰。 身為東協創始會員國的一員，泰國與中共密切合作以促進東協與中共之關係，並持續為地區之和平、穩定及繁榮而努力。泰國對東協及中共採取靈活外交政策，以獲取自身政治及安全利益之考量不言而喻。 分析顯示1999年所簽署之二十一世紀合作計畫聯合聲明，的確成為拓展雙邊關係之政策指導，論文中將探討中共與泰國於新世紀初期之關係進展，並分析在此時期影響雙邊關係之相關因素。 / The relations between the People’s Republic of China and the Kingdom of Thailand have developed steadily and closely since the two countries established diplomatic ties on July 1, 1975. The signing of the joint statement on a plan of action for the 21st century in 1999 has made clear the future direction of bilateral cooperation. The two sides continued to push forward cooperation in political, economic, military and social fields. The main contention of this thesis is about the development of these four dimensions from 2000-2012. The PRC and Thailand have continuously signed the joint communique for strategic cooperation in 2001, the first joint action plan on strategic cooperation in 2007, and the second joint action plan (2012-2016) in 2012. They also signed the joint statement on establishing a comprehensive strategic cooperative partnership to further promote and greatly enhance the bilateral relations. As an original member of ASEAN, Thailand works closely with the PRC to promote ASEAN- PRC relations, and continuously contributes to peace, stability and prosperity in the entire region as well. However, it is clear that Thailand has implemented active foreign policies toward ASEAN and the PRC to achieve its political and economic interests. The analysis shows that the two sides expand their relations under the guidance of the joint statement on a plan of action for the 21st century. This thesis is to study the development of the new relations between the PRC and Thailand in the 21st Century, as well as to analyze the factors cultivating bilateral relations during this period.
