中韩地方政府跨国合作的现状与前景

On the Situation and Prospects of Cross-border Cooperation of Local Governments between China and South Korea

中韩两国近年来地方政府合作发展很快,已经在各自的地方政府跨国合作中居于主要地位。中韩地方政府合作主要集中在两国地缘接近的区域,合作的主要方式为友好城市和次区域合作,合作内容主要包括经贸、社会和文化方面,合作机制包括多边、双边和单边机制。中韩地方政府合作对两国地方经济的发展、两国关系及区域关系的发展,以及两国的民间合作均有促进作用。东北亚地区的多边政治关系和中、日、韩、朝等国家之间的双边关系,以及各自的国内政治以及府际关系,都会对中韩地方政府的合作产生影响。地方政府合作可以超越政治制度上的差异,对于两国交流和合作将发挥越来越重要的作用。建议推动两国姊妹城市和次区域两方面的合作,赋予各自的地方政府在对外交往方面一定的权力,成立中韩地方政府共同建立的常设机构,建立跨国城市联盟等。
