Tóm tắt Luận án Tiến sĩ: Quan hệ Trung Quốc - Liên bang Nga (2012-2024)

The relationship between China and the Russian Federation from 2012 to 2024 represents a critical "special relationship" amidst a rapidly shifting global and regional landscape. This period, marked by significant leadership changes and increasing Western pressure, has seen both nations foster a strategic partnership characterized by deepening cooperation across various sectors. The study is imperative as this complex interplay of collaboration and competition profoundly influences the international order, while also directly and indirectly affecting Vietnam's security and foreign policy. This research aims to comprehensively analyze the trajectory and characteristics of China-Russia relations during this pivotal decade, thereby offering theoretical insights, practical implications, and strategic recommendations relevant for regional stability.

This doctoral thesis meticulously examines the intricate dynamics of China-Russia relations from 2012 to 2024, a period witnessing profound transformations in the global arena. The study employs an interdisciplinary approach, integrating theories from international relations (Realism, Liberalism, Constructivism, Marxism-Leninism), regional studies, and specific country studies like Chinese studies, history, political science, and economics. It systematically analyzes the multifaceted strategic partnership and geopolitical competition between the two powers across key domains: political-diplomatic, economic, defense-security, and cultural-social-tourism. A core aspect of the research involves identifying the pivotal domestic, regional, and international order factors that have shaped this "special relationship", particularly in response to perceived external pressures and the shared ambition for a multipolar world. The thesis delves into the practical implications of this evolving relationship, clarifying China's foreign policy strategies towards its neighbors, including the Russian Federation, and shedding light on the broader characteristics of major power interactions. Its applied value is substantial, offering crucial scientific arguments and reference materials for Vietnam's foreign policy formulation, especially in balancing relations with these two significant partners. Furthermore, it serves as an invaluable resource for academic research and teaching within Chinese studies and broader international relations in Vietnam. By providing a comprehensive overview, forecasting trends until 2030, and formulating specific policy recommendations for Vietnam, the study underscores the critical importance of understanding this complex bilateral interaction for regional stability and national security.
