經歷過40年改革開放的中國，其經濟實力的高度成長，致使國際影響力提升而受國際關注其發展動向。中國第五代國家領導人習近平於2013年9月提出「一帶一路」倡議，透過對其他國家投資的經貿合作，開展經濟外交。而身為傳統歐洲三強之一的英國，在歷經內部蘇格蘭獨立事件以及對外脫離歐盟的內外交迫之際，極力尋求在全球發展中的定位，而中國提出的帶路倡議即成為英國對外政策中選擇的考量之一。本論文探究英國對外政策中參與中國經濟外交的發展，以「一帶一路」中合作的4個項目：中歐班列、中英核能合作、中巴經濟走廊、英國參與亞投行，探究地緣經濟上的合作成果及成效。在「一帶一路」的透明度、環保、債務受到國際質疑的情況下，分析英國參與「一帶一路」將會遇到的困境及其解決方法。 China's international influence has increased sharply after 40 years of ＂Reform and Opening＂ and has caught the international attention to its development.
