本文考察了中国在发展中国家领导的地区论坛,中国的经济实力优势不言而喻,其慷慨的财政援助随时可以用来维持这些努力,其官僚机构有权指导机构活动的进行,其规范意图和利益得到最充分的表达。这两个这样的中国评估-在发展中国家发起的区域论坛表明,尽管中国宣称政治平等“和互利”的准则,并努力确保中国的利益随着时间的推移得到维护,但中国的立场越来越受到发展中国家成员国的质疑。这些挑战无一例外地表现为围绕关键行政机构的结构和决策过程的斗争,因此反映了发展中国家成员的规范、利益和期望。换句话说,尽管中国在这些地区论坛中拥有结构性力量的优势,但发展中国家成员国正在推动一个社会化进程,致力于重塑中国的行为,使其与其他成员国的利益更加一致。
This article examines Chinese-led regional forums in the developing world where the Chinese preponderance of economic power is self-evident, its financial largesse is readily utilised to sustain these endeavours, its bureaucracies are empowered to guide the conduct of institutional activities, and its normative intentions and interests are given fullest expression.This assessment of two such Chinese-instigated regional forums in the developing world suggests that despite the professed norms on political equality' and mutual benefit' and efforts to ensure the maintenance of Chinese interests over time, China's stance is increasingly contested by developing country member states. These challenges invariably take the form of struggles over the structuring of key administrative organs and the decision-making process and as such are reflective of norms, interests and expectations held by developing country members. In other words although China holds a preponderance of structural power within these regional forums there is an ongoing process of socialisationdriven by developing country member statesaimed at reshaping China's behaviour to bring it more closely in line with the other members' interests.
