中国与国际秩序笔谈:观念与战略

China and International Order:Visions and Strategies

国际秩序是世界政治中最具全局性、长期性和战略性的重大问题。国际秩序的走向本质上是“世界向何处去”的问题。习近平主席指出:“当今世界处于百年未有之大变局”“人类又一次站在了十字路口。合作还是对抗?开放还是封闭?互利共赢还是零和博弈?如何回答这些问题,关乎各国利益,关乎人类前途和命运。”对此时代之问,追求民族复兴并已深度融入世界的中国,理应做出自己的回答。正值新冠肺炎疫情肆虐、大国竞争加剧、国际秩序“分”“合”未定之际,南京大学亚太发展研究中心会同《国际问题研究》《外交评论》和《国际展望》三本杂志,以“中国与国际秩序”为主题,邀请近二十位学者分别从历史与理论、观念与战略、议题与实践等不同路径和维度尝试进行跨学科、全方位讨论,旨在聚焦中国在国际秩序进程中的地位与作用,思考中国与世界之关系,鉴往知今、展望未来。

International order,from Beijing’s perspective,is a major strategic issue that affects China’s long-term development.Debates over the evolution of international order all boil down to one consequential question:“Where is the world heading?”As Chinese President Xi Jinping put it,“the world is experiencing profound changes that have never been seen in the past one hundred years....Mankind is standing at a crossroads,facing consequential choices:cooperation vs.confrontation,openness vs.autarky,and positive-sum collaboration vs.zero-sum competition.”Amid unprecedented changes,China must give its own definitive answers to these major questions.At a moment when the still raging coronavirus pandemic is accelerating world-shaking changes and exacerbating great power competition,three leading international affairs journals,namely,China International Studies,Global Review,and Foreign Affairs Review,organize a roundtable discussion involving 20 Chinese scholars who give their views and advice on the different dimensions of the grand topic of“China and international order,”namely,history,theory,vision,strategy,and practice.
