欧盟东南亚政策论析

An Analysis of the EU's Policy towards Southeast Asia

东南亚具有独特的地理位置和活跃的区域经济,在传统上就是欧盟的外交战略关切之一。世界政治经济重心的东移再次提升了东南亚的战略重要性。本文基于安全战略、市场和社会三个层次,分析欧盟东南亚政策的历史沿革、特点、动因和潜在变化。在安全战略层面,欧盟继续在东南亚重要战略性力量之间寻求战略平衡;在经济层面,欧盟积极谋求分享亚洲经济增长红利,继续推进东盟成员国自贸区谈判;在社会层面,欧盟加大诸多项目在东南亚地区的推广力度。总体来说,欧盟对东南亚国家坚持经济合作高于政治安全、社会合作的方针。在欧盟的东南亚政策中,政治、安全、经济与社会层面的影响因素相互交织、彼此互动。

The unique geographical position and robust regional economy have made Southeast Asia one of the EU's traditional concerns in its foreign strategies.The eastward shift of the world's center of political and economic gravity once again highlights the strategic importance of Southeast Asia.In this context,this paper analyzes the historical evolution,features,motivations and potential changes of the EU's foreign policy with the help of three analysis levels that foreign policy-makers normally concern,namely strategic security,market and society.In the field of strategic security,the EU seeks a strategic balance between the United States,China and Japan;at the market level,it desires to share the benefits of the economic growth in Asia and continues to promote the FTA negotiations among the member countries of ASEAN;and at the social level,the EU has enhanced its efforts to carry out the series of projects in Southeast Asia.Overall,the EU prioritizes economic cooperation over strategic security and civil cooperation in its policy towards the Southeast Asian countries.In the EU's Southeast Asian policy,the influential factors from all the three levels are intertwined and interactive.At the same time,it can be detected that the EU is trying to achieve its political and economic interests through disseminating its social norms.
