战略的背叛：呼吁真正的欧盟战略伙伴关系

The Treachery of Strategies: A Call for True EU Strategic Partnerships

以对欧盟的官方文件和非正式文件的回顾,以及笔者对欧洲官员进行的大量访谈为基础,本文得出的结论是,截至2011年,欧盟总共与10个第三国建立了战略伙伴关系。在对上述战略伙伴关系进行了批判性评估之后,本文对其战略性质大体持质疑态度,原因在于:第一,并非每个战略伙伴都具有同等的战略意义;第二,在绝大多数真正具有战略性的问题上,欧盟并没有与其合作伙伴开展合作;第三,战略伙伴关系并没有对双方关系产生结构性或制度性影响;第四,在很多情况下,欧盟本身根本就没有被视为战略伙伴。最后,本文还是提出了积极的结论:既然欧盟已经创设了战略伙伴关系,而且提升了战略伙伴的预期,那么,欧盟就必须发展并实施这些战略伙伴关系,以使其真正有效,并最终具有真正的战略性。

On the basis of a review of EU documents,official and informal,as well as a certain amount of interviews with European officials,this paper concludes that the EU has today,in 2011,ten strategic partnerships with third countries.Offering a critical assessment of these partnerships,this paper largely questions their strategic nature given that 1) not every partner is equally strategic;2) the EU is not cooperating with its partners on most truly strategic issues;3) the strategic partnership has no structural or institutional impact on the relationship;4) or,finally,the EU itself is simply not considered as a strategic partner in many cases.However,the author concludes on a positive note: now that it has created these strategic partnerships and that it has raised expectations,the EU must develop and implement these partnerships to make them effective and-eventually-truly strategic.
