隨著中國大陸自1980年代採取改革開放政策後，所釋放出之經濟能量與所累積的權 力要素，不僅美國前國務卿Henry Kissinger將其列為當前所謂「五極結構」中的重要一 環，中國崛起對未來國際體系内涵所可能帶來的衝擊，也成為全球觀察家們普遍關注的 焦點所在。對此，中國大陸所採取的對策乃是籍機建立以「大國外交」概念所導引的一 連串對策，包括增加高層出訪、推動夥伴外交、開拓國際空間與深化整合角色等等。在 此，本文將試圖透過傳統權力政治角度來切入這個變遷過程，一方面分析該種概念在醞 釀過程中所必須面對的複雜背景，同時設法闡釋相關政策的主要做法與内涵，更重要的 是，我們更希望瞭解此種更趨積極的外交政策，將對兩岸關係的未來埋下何種不確定的變數。

Since 1990s, China has attracted more and more attention from all over the world because of it rising power, and the main reason why China could get this status is perhaps that it adopted the reforming policy to save its disrupting economy. Anyway，success of the policy does not only solve China’s economic problems， but also give it more confidence and power to meliorate its international position, and this would be the background of the so-called “Big Power Diplomacy”. But，what the more important is, because of the geographic position and its traditional influence, the change of China’s foreign policy would inevitably convert the interactions among East Asian countries. In this paper, I would like to realize and explain why China has a new foreign policy and what is its main goal. Then, I will also try to predict how the policy will influence the security and stability of East Asia region.
