Features: Entering the new century, China's higher education reform has been further deepened, and the research endeavors in universities have shown an increasingly prosperous trend. As a university affiliated with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Diplomatic Academy of China has consistently adhered to a research focus on diplomacy, serving China's foreign policy strategy. Currently, the development of the Diplomatic Academy of China is at a critical juncture. How to adhere to the requirements of scientific development, seriously plan and build the new campus in Changping and the talent pool, improve teaching quality and research standards, and strive to promote and ensure the scientific development of the academy is an important and urgent task before the academy. The recently formulated Five-Year Plan for the Diplomatic Academy of China explicitly states that it aims to transform the academy into a research-teaching university with first-class operational strength and overall standards among similar institutions in China, with its main disciplines at a leading domestic level and a high international reputation within a decade or so. As one of the core functions of the academy, research plays a significant role in achieving the development goals of a research-teaching university. To better reflect the outcomes of the "Science Week" activities and encourage faculty research enthusiasm, the Diplomatic Academy of China has been compiling and publishing the annual Science Week paper collection since 2002. This initiative holds positive significance, as it not only provides faculty with a platform to exchange academic ideas and publish research findings but also serves to promote the development of disciplines within the academy. Based on this, this book selects and compiles a portion of the papers from the 2005 "Science Week" for publication, serving as a reference for teaching and academic research.
