摘要"一带一路"倡议（BRI）告诉我们中国对国际秩序的看法是什么？本文采用归纳的方法，从两个方面研究“一带一路”倡议：首先，通过研究北京围绕其意图和倡议愿景的官方话语，了解中国对国际秩序的看法;其次，研究中国规范在全球南方国家传播和正常化的机制。我发现，中国的政策在维护现有国际秩序的同时促进替代规范和实践，以改革不符合中国利益的部分秩序之间进行辩证的交换。为了回答第二部分的问题，本文发现，中国对全球南方国家的外交政策中的一个核心社会化机制是通过专业化培训项目实现的。这些项目使中国的专业知识和技术诀窍能够与许多全球南方国家的精英和公务员分享和模仿。
Abstract What does the Belt and Road initiative (BRI) tell us about China’s perceptions of the international order? This paper takes an inductive approach by examining the BRI for a two-pronged purpose: first, to understand China’s perception of the international order by examining Beijing’s official discourse around its intentions and vision for the initiative; and, second, to examine the mechanisms through which Chinese norms are diffused and normalised in Global South states. I find that Chinese policy navigates a dialectical interchange between upholding the existing international order while simultaneously promoting alternative norms and practices to reform parts of the order that are unsatisfactory to Chinese interests. To answer the second part of the puzzle, the paper finds that a central socialisation mechanism in China’s foreign policy for Global South states occurs through professionalisation training programmes. These programmes allow for Chinese expert knowledge and technical know-how to be shared with and mimicked by elites and civil servants across many Global South states.
