迟滞多年的中日韩自贸区谈判有望在2012年正式启动。然而目前，中日韩三国就建立自贸区仍存在诸多争议与分歧。潜在的巨大经济收益背后，隐藏更多的是围绕中日韩自贸区的复杂政治博弈。从权力转移理论的角度讲，对中日韩自贸区的分析，需要在东亚地区层面中日、中美间力量博弈的背景下进行。日韩对中国崛起认知的改变，决定着它们对三国自贸区的态度及相应对策。
China-Japan-ROK FTA negotiations, which have been long delayed, are expected to start in 2012. However, there still exist many disputes and differences among three countries on the establishment of the China-Japan-ROK FTA. Behind potentially huge economic benefits are hidden complicated political games around the China-Japan-ROK FTA. From the theoretical point of view of "power transfer", the analysis of China-Japan-ROK FTA should be placed in the context of the game between China and Japan as well as China and U.S. on the East Asian regional level. The change of Japan and Korea's perceptions of a rising China, determines their attitudes towards China-Japan-ROK FTA and corresponding policies.
