印太战略视阈下美国对东南亚青年公共外交的进展

Progress of American Public Diplomacy towards Southeast Asian Youth in the Context of the Indo-Pacific Strategy

2017年,美国正式提出“自由开放的印太战略”,取代“亚太再平衡战略”成为主导性地区战略。在此背景下,青年公共外交在美国对东南亚公共外交体系中的地位不断上升。为提升公共外交与地区战略的联动性与适配性,美国通过目标与使命的再定位、体制与内容的迭代创新,着手打造印太时代的东南亚青年公共外交体系。未来,美国或将继续保持对东南亚青年公共外交的领先地位,并通过东南亚国家的政治转型期加深地区介入,但仍将面临机制倡议冗余、行动经费短缺的困境。我国应把握上述趋势和动向,正视挑战、把握机遇,推动对青年公共外交工作优化升级,更好助力中国—东盟青年命运共同体建设。

In 2017,the US officially put forward the“free and open Indo-Pacific strategy”,replacing its“Asia-Pacific rebalancing strategy”as the dominant regional strategy.In this context,the status of youth public diplomacy towards Southeast Asia in the US public diplomacy system is rising.In order to enhance the linkage and adaptability of public diplomacy and regional strategies,the United States set out to build a Southeast Asian youth public diplomacy system in the Indo-Pacific era through the repositioning of goals and missions,and the iterative innovation of system and content.In the future,the US may continue to maintain its leading position in public diplomacy towards Southeast Asian youth,and deepen regional involvement by taking advantage of the political transformation going on in Southeast Asian countries,but it will still face the dilemma of redundant mechanism initiatives and lack of action funds.China should grasp the above trends and development,face up to the challenges and seize the opportunities,optimize and upgrade its public diplomacy towards youth,and better contribute to the building of China-ASEAN youth community with a shared future.
