东北亚地区在地缘上连结着欧亚大陆的中心与边缘 ,自古就是陆权国与海权国的必争之地 ;1 9世纪以来 ,东西方文明又在此交汇 ,不同文明的冲突与融合也在一定程度上影响该地区各国对外关系的选择 ;冷战结束后 ,以中韩为代表的社会主义国家与本地区其他资本主义国家以及向市场经济体制转轨国家和市场机制已比较完善的国家都在此竞争共处 ,这些多样化的“连结”将不可避免地对本地区各国对外关系的走势产生影响。 Northeast Asia has geographically linked the center and the periphery of Eurasia. Since ancient times, it has been the place where the land-based and the sea-power countries contend. Since the 9th century, Eastern and Western civilizations have converged here again. The conflicts and the integration of different civilizations are also under way. After the Cold War, the socialist countries represented by China and South Korea and other capitalist countries in the region as well as those countries that have transitioned to market economy and whose market mechanisms have been relatively complete are all here Competing in competition, these diverse “links” will inevitably affect the trend of foreign relations in the countries of the region.
