Features: The book analyzes the development trajectory and evolutionary logic of international security mechanisms, focusing on the following three aspects of inquiry: , studying the intrinsic dynamics and contradictions of international security mechanisms, exploring the evolutionary path of these mechanisms and their future development trends; second, analyzing the different choices made by sovereign states in relation to international security mechanisms, the underlying considerations, and the resulting gains and losses; third, clarifying the developmental trajectory of China's relationship with international security mechanisms, thereby seeking appropriate strategic and policy options for China in an increasingly complex security network. Overall, this is an applied theoretical research, and strengthening strategic and comprehensive analysis has been a self-imposed requirement and constraint throughout the writing process. This book is an extension and deepening of the research work on the major project "China and International Organizations—The Process of Joining and Adaptation" by the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences under the "Tenth Five-Year Plan."
