An Inquiry Into Li Hongzhang＇s View on Foreign Policy of Gains and Losses during the Westernization Movement

清朝政府在洋务运动时期的对外主张,历来颇受争议。李鸿章在这当中扮演了重要的角色,他将中国带出了两次鸦片战争之间那种＂外交虚无＂的状态,主动提出了＂外须和戎,内须自强＂等一系列新外交理念,使中国的外交决策开始理性化,人们也常将洋务时期的外交称为＂李鸿章外交＂。本文试图从一个新角度,思考洋务派对外主张的得失：得失为何,得失缘何,何谓得失。不同于就史论史的微观考据研究,本文尝试从历史大背景的视角探讨李鸿章在洋务运动时期外交主张的得失及其深层原因。There has been various historic disputes on Qing government＇s foreign policy during the Westernization Movement,of which Li Hongzhang played a important role.He led Chinese diplomacy out from do-nothing position between two opium wars.He put forward great new ideas on foreign policy as Harmonious Foreign Relations with Domestically Self-Strengthening,and from then on Chinese foreign policy decision had been on the way of rationality.This was why the phrase Li Hongzhang Diplomacy had often been used as the equivalence of Qing government＇s diplomacy in the Westernization Movement period.This thesis is trying to explore the gain and loss of the Qing government＇s diplomacy in times of the Westernization Movement,from the new point of view of 3Ws： what-for,because-of-what and what-is.Differing from micro-historic textual research,we attempted to investigate the gains and losses of Li＇s diplomacy on the basis of macro-historic aspects.06134-1373
