本文以中国为中心，将中日安全领域竞争的演变置于中日美三国之间复杂的国家间竞争的大背景下进行分析。从理论的角度来看，本研究有助于从多党视角研究州际竞争的文献，这在现有的研究中被忽视了。中日美复杂的国家间竞争同时包含着地位、空间和意识形态的竞争。当竞争混合了两种或两种以上的竞争类型时，它们变得更加难以解决。中国军事建设和深化美日同盟的两大趋势是同时发展的，即加剧了竞争的动态和增加了竞争的位置因素。从各个层面上看，有许多迹象表明，对中国来说，控制日本的国际野心已经变得不那么重要，而更多的注意力是如何通过日本与美国的同盟协议帮助美国实现其在亚洲的目标。分析的案例显示了复杂的国家间竞争，包括台湾问题，东中国海和南中国海的领土争端，以及朝鲜核问题。
Abstract This paper analyses the evolution of Sino-Japanese rivalry in the security sphere concentrating on the Chinese perspective, and placing it within the wider context of complex interstate rivalry between China, Japan and the United States. From a theoretical viewpoint, this research contributes to the literature on interstate rivalry from multiparty perspective, which has been overlooked in existing research. China–Japan–US complex interstate rivalry includes elements of positional, spatial and ideological rivalry simultaneously. When rivalries mix two or more rivalry types, they become more difficult to resolve. The two broad trends of China’s military build-up and deepening US–Japan alliance evolve in tandem intensifying rivalry dynamics and increasing positional elements of rivalry. There are many indications on various levels that for China, controlling Japan’s international ambitions has become less important and more attention is paid to ways in which Japan helps the United States in reaching its objectives in Asia through their alliance agreement. The cases analysed to display complex interstate rivalry include the Taiwan question, territorial disputes in the East and South China Seas, and the North Korean nuclear issue.
