印度洋议题的安全化与中印两国的参与

The Securitization of the Indian Ocean and the Roles of China and India

本研究利用安全化理论提出的分析框架评估中印两国围绕印度洋海上安全的互动关系。本研究认定中印两国在印度洋上的海上安全互动不仅仅是现实利益的博弈,也是一种言语行为构建。冷战后,诸多印度洋议题经历了新的安全化过程,中印两国都参与了这一安全化进程,但两国对印度洋安全话语的构建不同,两国应对印度洋安全威胁的措施也不同。本研究发现印度洋议题安全化对中印海上安全互动的影响是复杂的,带来的并非总是合作。对此,中印双方应该警惕将相关议题过分安全化,以免给中印关系带来负面的影响,导致中印之间的安全合作更加困难。此外,双方应提高各自海上安全的自信,适应彼此海上安全新角色,并在此基础上构建一种新型的中印海上安全互动关系。

This article uses securitization theory to propose an analytical framework for appraising security relations between China and India in the Indian Ocean.The article finds that Sino- Indian maritime security interactions in the Indian Ocean represent not only a contest over practical interests,but also one related to the construction of a related narrative.Following the Cold War,a range of issues in the Indian Ocean went through a new process of securitization,with participation from both China and India.While both participated,the narratives constructed by each regarding security in the Indian Ocean are different,as are their approaches vis- a- vis related security challenges.This article finds that the influence of the securitization of various issues in the Indian Ocean has a complex effect on Sino- Indian maritime security interactions,and does not necessarily always result in cooperation.As such,in order to prevent negative implications for Sino- India relations,the two states should each be cautious of overly securitizing related issues,less security cooperation become more difficult.Additionally,the two states should each enhance their confidence when it comes to maritime security,and adapt to their respective new roles in this area In this way,the two states can build a foundation for the emergence of a new type of Sino- Indian maritime security relations.
