《东盟印太展望》及其战略启示

2019年6月,第34届东盟峰会发表了《东盟印太展望》,阐明了东盟关于地区合作的新主张。东盟正在改变以往模糊合作范围的地理概念,将其界定为依然相当模糊但大幅扩展的印太地区,反映出东盟对加强更广范围的地区合作已基本形成一致意见。尽管在达成共识的过程中存在一些分歧和保留意见,但东盟在当前国际和地区形势加速转型的关键时期,努力避免在大国博弈中被边缘化,尽力维护和增强东盟在地区合作中的中心地位。《东盟印太展望》的发布可谓是东盟的自保止损之道,体现出东盟各国深重的忧患意识。然而,此文件一定程度上也反映出东盟受美日澳法等"印太战略"的影响,具有一定的局限性。东盟未来需要有更加符合促进地区共同利益的精神,更能体现东盟的包容性、开放性、合作性,为建设更高质量的东盟共同体,促进地区和平与繁荣提供更强、更有韧性的动力。

The ASEAN Outlook on the Indo-Pacific and its Strategic Implications

In June of 2019,the 34th ASEAN summit issued the ASEAN Outlook on the Indo-Pacific to illuminate ASEAN,s new perceptions about regional cooperation.Although ASEAN is trying to clarify the geographical scope which used to be blurred for its regional cooperation,the new definition of the Indo-Pacific is still blurry though much extended in scope?However,this has indicated that a consensus is basically reached within ASEAN to strengthen cooperation in a wider regional area.Despite the differences and qualified opinions within ASEAN during reaching the consensus,it has indicated the determination and ambition of ASEAN to strive to avoid being marginalized in the major country game under the critical circumstances that the international and regional situation is currently in an accelerated transition as well as do its best to safeguard and strengthen the centrality of ASEAN in regional cooperation and promote common development and prosperity among让s member states.The ASEAN Outlook on the Indo-Pacific can be said a way for ASEAN's selfprotection,reflecting the deep sense of urgency held by the ASEAN member states?Nevertheless,this document also reflects,to some extent,the influence by the Indo-Pacific strategy pursued by the US,Japan,Australia and France,thus having certain limitations.The future of ASEAN calls for a spirit more in line with ASEAN's endeavor to promote regional common interests and more able to reflect its inclusiveness,openness and cooperativeness so as to provide stronger and more tenacious impetus to building a higher quality ASEAN community and promoting regional peace and prosperity.
