Abstract
China, which is one of the oldest civilizations in the world, has been debatingsince the Opium War. But the most important debate had been made after the periodwhich started with the collapsing of Berlin Wall and concluded with the disappearingof Soviet Union. As a member of Communist Bloc why China did not collapse whileSoviet Union, which was the founder pillar of Communist Bloc, collapsing. BothWest and this PhD thesis seek the answer of that question. The main reason ofdisappearance of Communist States was the course of those states which wasdeterminant by rigid ideological principles. Instead of acceptance of rigid and prostatus quo policy like others, China adopted moderate and periodical changeablepolicies. That was the main reason in the accomplishment of China. In contrast toSoviet Union, China did not have stable threat perception; thus China did not haverigid security policy. The threat centers and security policies were changing inparallel with time. China perceived the threats via the mechanism of core-peripherystructure. As it known China has been calling her self as Middle Kingdom. Althoughthe official name of China is different, the term of Middle Kingdom continued in thecommunist period. The main aim of this thesis is examination of change in the threatperception and the cause of historical factors. The main argument of thesis is thatChina does not follow pragmatic policy rather China follows more systematic andwell experienced foreign policy. Ideology, threat perception and security formationare the main components of Chinese foreign policy. This thesis is based on Core-Periphery approach as theoretical framework in order to investigate Post Cold Warpolicy of China in terms of geopolitics.
