被中國‘重述’的新世界秩序？中國的帶路敘事及中歐關係

中國如何成為重塑世界秩序的強權，是一個極待思考的問題。本文從話語敘事的角度來探討中國如何運用其國際敘事（‘一帶一路’倡議）作為改變全球認知的外交戰略，進而對新興世界秩序產生影響。首先，對變動中的世界秩序和中國崛起進行了文獻回顧，然後在理論架構中更深入地探討話語的本質、力量及其與世界秩序的相關性。在實證層面，則採用三個層次的敘事（國際體系、國家、問題爭論）與三個面向的傳播過程（建構、投射╱散播、反應）作為分析框架來研究中國的‘帶路’敘事。此外，更思量中國的‘帶路’敘事對中歐關係所蘊涵之意義。

How China can be a game changer for the world is an imperative question to ponder. Rather than concentrating on material aspects, this paper focuses on a discursive perspective to study China’s global influence. Specifically, it explores China’s international narratives (with a focus on its grand project Belt and Road Initiative [BRI]) as a diplomatic strategy to alter global perception and their possible influences on the emerging world order. First, it reviews the literature concerning the changing world order and China’s growing influences; then, it moves on to theoretical content discussing the essence and power of discourse. To link theory to evidence, this paper adopts an analytical framework involving three levels of narrative (international system, national, and issue narratives) and three aspects of the communication process (narrative formation, projection/diffusion, and reception) to study China’s BRI narratives. Furthermore, it considers the implication of China’s BRI narratives for EU-China relations.
