摘要

1945年之後，聯合國開始推動非殖民化政策，原屬於紐西蘭殖民領地的庫克群島和紐埃並未選擇獨立，而是與紐西蘭形成自由聯盟的政治關係，以自治邦形式繼續與紐西蘭做政治結合。從經濟、國防、外交等主客觀條件來看，在自由聯盟關係下，雖然庫克群島與紐埃並非是完全獨立自主的國家，但自由聯盟的政治與政策靈活度，則是符合了庫克群島與紐埃的利益。

After 1945, the United Nations began to actively shape the agenda of decolonization. The Cook Islands and Niue, which were former colonial territories of New Zealand, did not seek independence. Instead, they formed a special political relationship with New Zealand entitled ＂free association,＂ and continued to cooperate with New Zealand in the form of an autonomous state. An assessment of economic, defense and diplomacy shows that, while the Cook Islands and Niue are not fully independent countries, the political flexibility and policy of ＂free association＂ have nevertheless protected the interests of the Cook Islands and Niue.
