建構主義分析中國在聯合國安全理事會的論述與建立「負責任的大國」形象

Abstract

本論文藉由分析中國常駐代表自2011年以來所發表的32份解釋投票聲明，檢視中國在聯合國安全理事會(UNSC)的論述如何建構其負責任的全球大國形象。本研究將中國在1973號決議和北約干預利比亞（2011年）後發生巨大變化的表決實踐，與中國對國際規範的詮釋所引發的語意領域和內涵相結合。透過語篇內容分析，本研究識別出塑造中國敘述的兩個相互關聯的層面。在程序上，中國強調建立共識和多邊協商，以維護聯合國安理會的統一、權威和公信力，主張反對造成分裂的行動。在實質上，中國重新詮釋了三個國際規範-國家主權、領土完整和不干涉-將自己定位為一個平衡和謹慎的強國。運用社會建構主義的框架，分析強調中國建構了其負責任的強國形象，促進對國際規範的嚴格詮釋，以對抗西方強國的多變解讀。這種角色認同使中國能夠賦予其規範力量，並推動具有中國特色的多邊主義。

This thesis examines how China’s discourse at the United Nations Security Council (UNSC) constructs its image as a responsible global power by analyzing 32 explanatory vote statements made by Chinese Permanent Representatives since 2011. It connects China’s voting practice, which changed dramatically after the aftermath of Resolution 1973 and the NATO intervention in Libya (2011) to the semantic fields and connotation induced by China’s interpretation of international norms. Through discourse content analysis, the study identifies two interrelated dimensions shaping China’s narrative. Procedurally, China emphasizes consensus-building and multilateral consultation to preserve the UNSC’s unity, authority, and credibility, advocating against actions that cause division. Substantively, China reinterprets three international norms—state sovereignty, territorial integrity, and non-interference—positioning itself as a balanced and cautious power. Using a social constructivist framework, the analysis highlights that China has constructed its responsible power image promoting a strict interpretation of international norms in opposition to the fluid reading of Western powers. This role identity enables China to empower its normative power and advance a multilateralism with Chinese characteristics.
