Emerging Chinese foreign and defence policy in Asia-Pasific

ABSTRACT For better understand the actual and future position of China in the word, first of all, we have to learn its political structure and foreign policy decision-making mechanisme. In this thesis, I intented to examine all decision-making ranks from the national leader and his nuclear circle to underlevel ranks. I also looked into relations between the "People's Liberation Army"(PLA)-the guarantee of the regime and civilian structure. Finally, I examined Chinese foreign economic relations toward other countries and its foreign policy toward the three major powers in Asia-Pasific Region. vm
