东盟“中心地位”面临的美国挑战及其发展前景

The ASEAN's Challenge from the U.S. and Its Prospect

东盟作为东亚地区最有影响力的多边组织,一直致力于推动区域内的多边合作,并在其中发挥功能性"中心作用"。但美国在东亚长期的力量存在及其近年来对该地区事务愈发频繁的干涉使东盟的"中心地位"面临挑战,不仅其内部团结出现了问题,在对外事务上保持"协商一致"也变得颇为困难。这对区域经济一体化进程和亚太地区安全架构转型产生了不小的负面影响。为应对挑战,东盟正在努力加强制度和能力建设以确保"中心地位"的稳固。中国应继续支持东盟的这一努力,并同东盟一道推动区域合作及经济一体化进程不断发展。

As the most influential multilateral organization in the East Asia,ASEAN always devotes itself to and plays a ＂central ＂ role in the regional multilateral cooperation. However,a longstanding presence and more interference from the U.S. in this region give such a great challenge for ASEAN＇s centrality that the unity can hardly be maintained and the consensus building may be more difficult. That has a negative impact on the regional economic integration and the Asia-Pacific security architecture. In order to meet the challenge,ASEAN is trying to strengthen its institutional construction and capacity building to ensure the centrality. China should continue to support ASEAN＇s effort,and drives the regional cooperation and economic integration with ASEAN together.
