采用社会网络的分析方法分析了"一带一路"沿线国家贸易网络的基本特征以及贸易网络组团的结构变化,贸易网络的核心边缘及其演化情况,并在最后对中国与东南亚国家的子贸易网络进行了核心边缘分析。结果表明:"一带一路"沿线国家贸易网络密度增强,中国在"一带一路"沿线国家贸易网络中的核心度在逐渐提高,在2013年已经成为最核心的国家,且在中国与东南亚国家构成的子贸易网络中,中国也成为了最核心的国家。
Since the proposition of"Belt and Road Initiative", researches on trade between China and countries along the Initiative area have increased. However, it is relatively rare to study trade network taking China and those countries as a whole. In this article, we utilize a social network analysis method to analyze the characteristics, trade groups as well as core-periphery structure and its evolution of this trade network. Then we analyze the structure of sub trade network of China and the Southeast Asian countries. The results show that density of the trade network established by China and countries along"Belt and Road Initiative"areas has increased, coupled with growing number of core countries. Meanwhile, China's core degree in this trade network has increased with China being the most important core country in 2013. What's more, China becomes the core country in the sub trade network of China and the Southeast Asian countries as well. Based on this analysis, we propose that during the process of promoting"Belt and Road Initiative"construction, China should rely on policy communication to reduce trade barriers and improve trade facilitation with countries along the Initiative area. In particular, it should be set as the priority to facilitate trading conditions with core countries in the Initiative area trade network for further enhancing China's core position in this network. What's more, China should make good use of the advantage of being the core position in the network, play an active role of being the area core country and promote the construction and development of"Belt and Road Initiative".
