试论中国的对澳大利亚政策——基于“中等强国”行为逻辑的认知

An Analysis of China's Policy toward Australia:Based on the Cognition of the Behavior Logic of the Middle Powers

在国际关系中,中等强国是一类值得关注的国家,在国际事务中发挥着特殊的作用。作为典型的中等强国,澳大利亚在外交上取得了令人瞩目的成就,并且在西太平洋乃至整个亚太地区发挥着独特的作用。中国对澳政策的传统思维受历史经验和意识形态所限,对澳大利亚重视不够。澳大利亚在二战后的对外行为中存在一个"中等强国"的行为逻辑,认知这一行为逻辑有助于打破中国对澳政策的思维定式,开拓中澳关系的新局面。在中国外交中,中等强国应当被纳入到战略布局的思考当中来。

In international relations, middle powers are countries worth noting, they played a unique role in international affairs. As a typical middle power, Australia has made significant achievements in diplomacy, as it played a unique role in the Western Pacific or the whole Asia-Pacific region. As China's policy toward Australia has been affected by traditional thinking, historical experiences and ideology, it has not put Australia on a strategic perspective. There has been the middle power behavior logic in Australia's diplomatic behavior since the end of the Second World War, cognition of which would be conducive to breaking China's mind-set on policies toward Australia and opening up new horizon for China-Australia relationship. In China's future diplomacy, middle powers should be included into its consideration of strategic layout, in which Australia could be taken for a trial.
