抄録

In this article, the author examines how foreign policy was determined by the Qing Dynasty during its last years of existence, using both official documents and personal diaries and letters written by its bureaucrats. The focus is on the policy making process at court before the Li-Foumier negotiations of 1884, which aimed at avoiding war France; in particular, who drafted the original plan, who was influential in the process and what groundwork was laid behind the scenes.There is much informative research to date about the process of the actual negotiations conducted between Li Hongzhang 李鴻章 and Fournier. However, several aspects remain unclear, particularly about the role played by Empress Dowager Cixi, Prince Chun 醇親王奕譞 and high ranking officials in the foreign policy making process. In order to clarify their roles, the author analyzes Puyuan Yueyi 樸園越議, recently published correspondence written by Prince Chun to Weng Tonghe 翁同龢, concluding that it was Li Hongzhang himself who proposed the peace negotiations. Prince Chun agreed with him and helped sway the Empress from her position to declare war immediately. In the matter of the Empress wanting to dismiss Zeng Jize 曽紀沢 as ambassador to France, Prince Chun took it under advisement; and after the court council 廷臣会議 did not act as he had intended, the Prince acted resourcefully in order to influence the terms of peace that followed.From the above discussion, it becomes clear that foreign policy at the time of the Tuilian Tingzheng 垂簾聴政 was determined via zhaojian 召見, in which the opinions of subjects could have some influence on the Empress. The core figures in making foreign policy in that manner were Prince Chun and the Grand Councilors, while the Zongli Yamen Dacheng 総理衙門大臣 took charge of diplomacy。
