因環保問題間接直接影響到人類生存的安危，無論自空氣、水源、甚至大地天氣皆因此而受到影響，因此國際間形成組織來共同維護。此篇論文主要目的是為了探討中國在對環境問題上，面臨國際間的組織或典則，要如何去因應與平衡國內產業發展。主題可以分為三個層面來說：國際環保典則、環保政策、化工產業。以國際環保典則作為理論來論述國與國的虛擬空間中以權力和機制架構而成的規範。由此探討中國在環境外交上的發展，以及為了了解國際間的典則是否有對中國的經濟產生影響，因而從法政面和化工產業（實證面）兩個方向來分析。本文從國際規範，如從京都議定書來探討中國在國際環保議題上所扮演的角色，從利益的角度看加入“碳排放交易機制”的中國，如何讓污染轉變成技術與資金。

為了解化工產業與環保規範的關係，從三間不同性質（國有企業、私人企業、跨國公司）的大型化工工廠利用問卷做了初步的調查、分析與探討，用以了解如京都議定書此類西方國家所制定的機制、典則，在中國所發揮的效用。從實證面歸納出，中國之於環保這個議題，國際環境典則此機制在中國發揮的效力並不明顯。除了實際減碳量或是推行環保的結果不明朗化，無法得知真正的效果外，西方國家所制定的機制、典則，真的適用於中國嗎？倘若中國無法發展出一套屬於中國適用的機制，實際上並未能夠真正改善中國的環境問題。

本文中可探討出來環境的改善實直操作於地方政府的影響力以其相關利益團體（如公司行號）等。而中央面對的則是國際的壓力，地方則是與企業的合作為主。那是否在不久的將來在中國也能利用宏觀調控來強制中國對環保做出實質的改善，而非口號或是更多的條文規定，就要看地方利益的分配是否能夠達到為環境付出的需求。

As environmental protection problems become the global issues recently, China could not get rid of the responsibilities as being developing country. Thus, how to deal with the international regimes become more and more important toward Chinese government. How could China take balance between international regimes and domestic beneficial groups? In addition, it also briefly discusses how China deals with the environmental diplomacy through different international environmental regimes. In this thesis, it uses international environmental regimes as theory to discover the relations among countries and enterprises.

Thus, in this thesis, it will divide into three parts which are the international environmental regimes such as Kyoto Protocol, China’s environmental laws, and cases studying of chemical industries of China. The result of analysis implies that no matter the international environmental regimes or China’s environmental laws are inefficient to avoid environmental crisis. The real power relies on the beneficial groups or other profit projects. Consequently, how China achieves its goal on environmental protection might be more and more important in the future.
