The Evolvement Of The China National Security Policy- The Case Studies Of The South And East China Seas / 中國國家安全戰略的改變---以南海及東海為例

碩士 / 國立臺北大學 / 公共行政暨政策學系 / 101 / Since the end of Cold War, most of the scholars view Defensive Realism as a fundamental frame to interpret the China National Security Strategy. This thesis also holds the same point of view. However, since the world-stunning event of 911 in 2001 has changed the international relations, and the subprime mortgage crisis in 2008 has severely devastated the U.S economy, the world power structure has changed. Under this new circumstance, China has gradually been adjusting its security policies and strategies. Therefore, this study suggests that under the frame of Structural Realism, the explanation based on Defensive Realism to the China National Security Strategy be reconsidered.

This study suggests the event of 911 has not only made the global war on terror the priority target of the U.S national security, but also forced the U.S to make some changes on its global strategy, which consequently altered the world power structure; the relation among U.S and the countries in Asia has been strengthened because of the wars on terror. This indirectly led to the military isolation against China, and left China no choice but making adjustment on its national security strategy and the political announcement on this issue. According to the response of China, it can be analyzed that China has been constantly switching its defensive security strategy to offensive security strategy, which is the response to the U.S newly- adjusted global strategy.

Hence, this thesis suggests taking the theory of Structure Realism as an effective explanation for the changes China has made on its national security strategy. Furthermore, take the South China Sea and the East China Sea as the examples, it can be proved by the following three examining indicators, maintaining the status quo, deterrence strategy, and costly signal, that the China national strategy has been switched from defense to offense after the event of 911 and the financial crisis in 2008.
