摘要
澳大利亚是"印太"概念的主要倡议者,是较早将"印太"地区正式纳入官方安全利益关切的国家。将澳大利亚与印度或印度洋联结是澳大利亚"印太"战略观一以贯之的主线。中印的共同崛起、美国"重返亚洲"以及"中等强国"抱负是澳大利亚重视"印太"地区的地缘政治因素。印度经济的崛起、印度洋重要性上升及其衍生出的北澳大开发需要是澳大利亚直接关注"印太"地区的地缘经济因素。此外,相对于"亚太"而言,"印太"的叙述框架更有利于澳大利亚缓解身份认同焦虑。文章指出,澳大利亚内部对"印太"的战略内涵及其重要性的认知并不完全一致:"亚太第一派"基本否定"印太"作为澳大利亚新的战略地理空间;"印太最小主义派"强调利用印度制衡中国,维护"印太"均势;"印太最大主义派"强调中美日印的大国协调和共治;"印太功能主义派"强调减少能源和海洋安全联结产生的战略对抗,追求"印太海洋共治"。目前特恩布尔政府的"印太"战略思路倾向于"印太最小主义派"。探讨澳大利亚"印太"战略观的演变有助于中方更好地理解澳大利亚的利益诉求和战略走向,更加准确地把握和调整"印太"时代的中澳关系。
Australia is a key advocate of the idea of an“IndoPacific”region,and one of the first countries to make the concept a key part of its overall strategic postureUnderlying the historical evolution of the IndoPacific construct is the goal of connecting Australia with India and the Indian OceanThe importance of geopolitics and geoeconomics,highlighted by the rise of China and India and the US“pivot to Asia”,has figured into Australia’s recent rediscovery of the“IndoPacific”as a maritime regional frameworkIdentity politics also matterThe narrative of the IndoPacific,as opposed to the AsiaPacific,may help resolve the tensions between Australia’s“Western”traditions and its physical location in AsiaThis paper will analyze and review different schools of thought that have emerged to explain the IndoPacific concept’s significanceThe Turnbull government,by and large,aligns with the“IndoPacific Minimalists”,who highlight the strategic weight of India as a possible way to“balance”ChinaOverall,it is vital that the policymaking and scholarly communities in China understand what this new conception of the region means for Australia’s perception of its national interests,its strategic orientation,and its possible implications for China.
