国际研究中的传统观点认为，受国际体系等级的影响，小国是从属的参与者。第十章以一个自由小国家与大国双边关系的运作为例，详细介绍了新西兰积极务实地参与中国提出的一带一路倡议。与传统观点相反，林认为新西兰作为一个自由小国的典范，有能力影响中国的外交政策，比如雄心勃勃的一带一路。他认为，尽管新西兰在早期阶段就行使了权力和影响力，但它应该谨慎对待自己在一带一路下日益脆弱的地位，以及与中国以自由贸易为重点的双边关系的局限性。
Conventional wisdom in international studies posits that small states are subordinate players, influenced by the hierarchy of international systems. Chapter 10 offers a close look at New Zealand’s proactive and pragmatic participation in China’s Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) as a case study of a small liberal state maneuvering its bilateral relations with the great powers. Contrary to conventional wisdom, Lin argues that New Zealand, as an exemplar of a small liberal state, has the power to influence China’s foreign policy, such as in the case of the ambitious BRI. He contends that, despite exercising its power and influence in the early stages, New Zealand should be cautious about its increasingly vulnerable position under the BRI, and the limits of free trade-focused bilateral relations with China.
