中国对联合国维持和平行动的认知和参与

China's Conception of and Participation in the UN Peacekeeping Operation

中国参与联合国维和行动经过了一个复杂的历史演进过程,大致可分为新中国成立后至改革开放前的原则否定、概不参与,改革开放后至冷战结束前的区另I对待、有限参与,冷战结束至今的积极支持、扩大参与三个阶段。中国对联合国维和行动政策的调整与国际环境和中国国内政治的变化是相对应的,它从一个方面反映了中国国际地位的提高、中国世界观念的变革和中国外交行为方式的转型。中国参与联合国维和行动的历史演进过程表明,中国维护世界和平的大国责任意识日益彰显。

China's participation in the UN peacekeeping operation has experienced a complicat-ed historical process. The evolution may be divided into three periods: the period from the founding of New China to the eve of reform and opening-up when China adopted a negative attitude in princi-ple and kept out of the operation altogether; the period from the initiation of reform and opening-up to the eve of the end of Cold War when China dealt with each case on its merits and had a limited participation; and the period from the end of Cold War to now when China has given its vigorous support to and taken an active part in the operation. The readjustments to the Chinese policy are closely related to the international environment and the political changes in China and reflect in a way the raising of China's international standing, the changes in its world conceptions and the trans-formation of its diplomatic pattern of behaviors. The evolution of China's participation in the UN peacekeeping operation shows China as a big country has a clearly growing sense of responsibility for preserving world peace.
