The paper debates the basic concept,scope and methodology of international strategic studies first,and then an analysis of the current research situation is offered,and the future prospects and major issues of international strategic studies are proposed.The author points out that while international strategic study becomes a hot issue in china,the depth in theoretical analysis and the quality of systematic and precise analysis are relatively not satisfactory,and wide-field research or relevant studies with practical implications are yet to be strengthened.The author suggests that there are three decisive aspects in this research area,namely,establishing and perfecting national decision-making consultant mechanism,promoting development of the discipline of international strategies,and improving the scholars ability to do strategic analysis.These aspects are also the weakest parts in China’s international strategic studies.Of the various issues in the study of international strategy,grasping the most crucial ones is a decisive factor.Attention should be directed to major strategic issues such as but not restricted to global currents,law of the rise and fall of major powers,national power,and strategic culture.

Complex security dilemmas and some interdependence coexist in Sino-Japanese relations. Both countries realize that the most effective way to guarantee their core national interests is to be a responsible stakeholder in East Asia and to play a responsible and constructive role in dealing with regional affairs. In light of this understanding, the paper attempts to establish a common-interests-based strategic framework for Sino-Japanese relations, a common-interest matrix composed of domestic, bilateral, regional and global levels and political, economic, security, social and cultural dimensions. At the tactic level, the paper suggests that both countries should promote overall strategic adjustments through some idea innovations, set up bilateral contact mechanisms through trust-enhancing measures, set up some discussing in advance and briefing mechanisms on important international agendas that both the two countries involve, thus start up the bilateral strategic-trust construction.

The coincidence of world transformation and China’s rise broadens the space that China’s international strategy can reshape.The mainstream Western IR paradigms are responding to the situation but could not effectively interpret the rise of China;while China’s IR studies still remain as the follower of the Western counterpart.The author advocates that it is the hard time to shift the focus of IR studies to China and bridge the IR theoretical paradigms and the actual practices taking place in China.To reach this goal,the author suggests improving studies on China’s world ideal,on the strategies of great-power-rise,and on theoretical foundations of policy analysis.
