【摘要】清外交体制经历了从总理衙门到外务部的演变,这一演变同时也反映了晚清外交观念从夷务—洋务—外务的一个转变过程。 本文主要探讨的重点主要分为三个部分。其一,考察总理衙门设置的缘起,简述清代早期的对外关系,及北京条约签订后,清廷设立总理衙门的原因,并进一步探讨总理衙门外交权责的分配及其运作方式。其二,论述北洋通商大臣权责的演变,并进一步探讨其外交职掌范围及其与总理衙门的关系。其三,论述晚清外交权利结构的二元性特征—总理衙门与北洋大臣在外交上的合作与竞争。因奕訢文祥与李鸿章的合作关系,使得二者的合作达到高峰,其后,文祥去世,奕訢遭受打击,被逐出总理衙门,总署权力下降,沦为—备咨询的顾问机构,北洋大臣李鸿章独掌对外交涉。在李鸿章下台后,清廷外交又短暂地回复到督抚外交的局面,直至外务部的成立,才结束了晚清外交权力机构混乱、政出多门的局面。从总理衙门到外务部,晚清外交体制的演变长达40年,其间形成的外交权力重心双元化对晚清对外交涉的影响,致使总理衙门和北洋大臣处理外交事务都没有独立的主导权,相互受到牵制。晚清外交失利,固然与清朝的国势有关,但这种外交机构权责分配的混乱,外交体制的落后,导致的对外交涉时政策的反复与被动,则不是一句“弱国外交”可以修饰的。
