本課程介紹鴉片戰爭至清末新政時期的中國外交，引介中外各家研究成果、解釋架構，試圖跳脫出過去民族主義史觀的限制，以較宏觀的視野，將清末外交置於東亞與世界外交的發展中考察。希望能藉此課程幫助學生較全面的理解清末中國由傳統天朝體系進入西方為中心的近代世界體系歷程中，遭受到的衝擊、挫敗，以及所做的努力與成就。

This course introduces China’s diplomacy from the Opium War to the late Qing Dynasty’s New Deal period. It introduces the research results and interpretation frameworks of various domestic and foreign scholars. It attempts to break away from the limitations of past nationalist historical views and examine the late Qing diplomacy in the context of the development of East Asia and world diplomacy from a broader perspective. It is hoped that this course will help students gain a more comprehensive understanding of the impact, setbacks, efforts and achievements that China suffered during the process of transitioning from the traditional Chinese dynasty system to the Western-centered modern world system in the late Qing Dynasty.
