Summary/Abstract |
Non-traditional security issues such as energy security have been becoming more and more important in Asia and worldwide in recent years. It is increasingly difficult for a single country to guarantee its energy security in the globalized world of today. Asian countries have made some progress in bilateral and multilateral dialogues to promote cooperation and coordination in the energy field. However, they are still far from establishing a regional architecture of energy security. The Asian countries must therefore make greater efforts to realize a regional mechanism of energy cooperation. In the future, there should be a multi-level (regional, sub-regional, and trans-regional, and bilateral), multi-channel, and multi-model Asian regional architecture of energy security.

Summary/Abstract |
The state of the world in 2010 can be summed up in a single word: symbiosis. Chaos and change feed on each other in a phenomenon that mirrors the tendency towards change in today's international strategic landscape. This article attempts to create an overview of the most important features and trends of the situation by looking at shifts in major power relations, the rise of the Asia-Pacific region, geo-strategic upheavals, tension on the Korean peninsula, military security, world economy and China's diplomacy. It asserts that chaos is not necessarily a bad thing.

Summary/Abstract |
With China's rise to a nominal second largest economy in the world, the rapid promotion of China's power and international status stands in stark contrast to the depression in the Western economy. The suspicion of Western powers towards rising China aggravates, and the interaction between China and outside world enters a more complicated phase.

Summary/Abstract |
China's rise is accompanied by a corresponding growth in its international influence. Not only does this kind of influence have its roots in history and imagination, but it is also an inevitable result of China's growing strength and economy over the past few decades. It is difficult to accurately quantify a country's international influence. China's growing international influence has its own distinct characteristics, marked by the country's unique national interests. A more influential China is not only good for China's own development; it is also good for the world.

Summary/Abstract |
Cross-strait relations over the past 30 years can be divided into three different time periods, which correspond to changes in the Sino-U.S. bi-structure in terms of materialist structure and idealist structure. In other words, although changes in Taiwan itself have affected cross-strait relations they are subordinate to changes in the Sino-U.S. bi-structure.

Summary/Abstract |
This article forecasts the future of bilateral ties by examining the recent readjustments in the European Union's China policy. It highlights the EU's interest in a closer bilateral cooperation focusing on pragmatism and an integrated approach to China by EU member states. The future of bilateral ties will hinge on whether the two sides can seize the current opportunity to expand complementary areas in their economies while curbing competition.

Summary/Abstract |
China has made great progress in recent years in contemporary Russian research. However, because of changes in the two countries' national interests there is much more work to be done. The historical significance of Russia's recent social transition and the implications for China mean that Russia research should be both wide-ranging and profound. Chinese scholars specializing in Russian studies should focus not only on strategic trends in politics, economics and social development, but also on the minute details of the changes Russia has undergone. New angles and new methodologies are required for Russian studies.

Summary/Abstract |
Democratic Peace and Democracy Exporting are two relatively young theories in the Western IR theory family. The authors believe both are questionable assertions. Democracy, whether as personal consciousness or a political mechanism, can only arise when the productivity of a nation reaches a certain level. Fundamentally, even if we agree with the assertion that democracy leads to peace, the real reason is level of productivity; democracy is only a result. Secondly, the close relationship between democracy and capitalism means that democracy can not be exported randomly. To treat democracy as a universally adaptable commodity exportable to any nation without considering the level of productivity can hardly be successful; in fact, it may be harmful to some nations.

Summary/Abstract |
After Tunisian President Ben Ali fled his country, Hosni Mubarak, Egypt's modern 'pharaoh' and ruler for 30 years, was toppled in just 18 days by a wave of popular protest. There are diverse reasons for his fall. These include economic problems caused by high population growth, high unemployment, and high inflation; social problems caused by the excessive gap between rich and poor; unfair distribution of social wealth; and political problems caused by Mubarak clinging to the presidency and his intention to hand over power to his own son. When the Tunisian revolution occurred, these were the reasons that triggered Mubarak's collapse. However, because Egypt is a regional power, the impacts of its own revolution far exceed those of Tunisia and will inevitably affect not just the region but also US strategy in the Middle East.
