本文藉由闡述韓國的中國情結因素如何影響對華關係，補充現有國際關係理論對於分析朝貢體制以及情義精神的不足。中國情結脫胎於傳統華夷秩序與朝貢關係中的事大主義，係韓國對於符合中華文明典範的中國政權之情感依託與效忠。然而不同於強調名份尊卑與實力差距的事大主義，中國情結重視中國統治者須具備儒家文明性與對外鋤強扶弱的精神，成為近現代韓國依從中國的重要根源。由於明帝國義無反顧地援助李氏朝鮮抵禦日本入侵，事大主義因而轉化為中國情結，使得朝鮮拒絕向文化低落的滿清低頭，直到滿清..

What is “Chinese Complex” and how does it affect Korea’s foreign relations with China?

In recent years, international relations theory has faced a potential crisis of obsolescence. The development of the three major paradigms—realism, liberalism, and constructivism—has stagnated, and the gap between theory and policy implications has widened. Empirical research guided by middle-range theories are replacing traditional international relations theory that emphasize generalization and systematic frameworks. Although international relations theory remains important, neither realism, liberalism, nor constructivism have..
