“双钥匙原则”下亚欧会议扩大进程比较分析

A Comparative Analysis on Enlargement Process of Asia-Europe Meeting(ASEM)Under the“Two-key Approach”

迄今为止,亚欧会议已先后完成了五轮扩大。除一般性条件外,候选国还必须符合"双钥匙原则"的规定,即首先要获得本地区的支持,然后再征得亚欧双方所有成员的一致同意。其中,欧盟和东盟在决定新成员资格的问题上扮演了关键性角色。亚欧会议的整个扩大进程可以划分为三种不同的类型。第一类是欧盟与东盟各自成员的入会问题。第二类是超越欧盟和东盟传统主导地域的亚欧国家的入会实践。第三类是地区身份定位比较模糊的其他国家的入会尝试。尽管亚欧会议早已不是欧盟与东亚集团之间的小范围论坛,然而欧盟和东盟却始终致力于维护亚欧会议的地区间主义特征。近年来,虽然亚欧会议明显放缓了扩容的步伐,但在亚欧互联互通的新形势下,一个方向更为明确、目标更为清晰的新扩大进程值得期待。

To date,five rounds of enlargement of Asia-Europe Meeting(ASEM)has been achieved.In addition to the general conditions,every candidate country must also comply with"two-key approach".In other words,every candidate country must at first obtain the support within its region,and then obtain the unanimous consent of all members of ASEM.In this process,EU and ASEAN play a key role in deciding on new membership.The entire enlargement process of ASEM can fall into three different categories:The first category is the membership admission of the respective EU members and ASEAN members.The second category is the process that Asian and European countries beyond the traditionally dominant regions of the EU and ASEAN join ASEM.The third category is the process that other countries with ambiguous regional identity join ASEM.Although ASEM is no longer a small-scale forum between the EU and the East Asia as both blocs,the EU and ASEAN have always been committed to maintaining the interregional characteristics of ASEM.In recent years,although ASEM has significantly slowed the pace of enlargement,under the new situation of Asia-Europe connectivity,a new enlargement process with more clear-cut directions and more distinct goals is worth looking forward to.
