试析中国维和观念的演变

China's Evolving Views on United Nations Peacekeeping

与冷战期间中国对联合国维和行动的谨慎政策有明显不同,从20世纪90年代开始,中国更加积极地参与联合国维和行动,中国在维和行动中同时部署民事和军事人员到指定地区,反映了中国维和行动的观念发生变化。参加联合国维和行动既是中国跨区域外交的一部分,又是中国人道主义干预等"非战争性军事行动"的安全政策体现。目前,中国的维和人员前往的多为和平脆弱地区,维和人员面临当地武装分子的严重威胁。中国正试图在成为国际安全事务中负责任的大国和参与联合国解决国内冲突的维和行动间寻求利益平衡。

After a wary official policy towards United Nations Peacekeeping missions throughout much of the cold war,China since the 1990 shas developed a greater enthusiasm for participating in peacekeeping missions,including in the case of civil conflicts.Among the changes to Beijing's peacekeeping thinking has been the deployment of both civilian and military personnel to select missions.U.N.peacekeeping has since become embedded not only in China's growing cross-regional diplomacy,but also in its security policies involving 'military operations other than war,'including humanitarian intervention.Currently,Chinese peacekeeping personnel are being deployed to the regions where peace is tenuous.Thus,peacekeepers have found themselves under threat by local combatants,and China is now seeking to balance its growing interests in becoming a responsible great power in international security affairs,and developing agreater understanding of the civil conflicts which the U.N.is being called upon to address.
