比荷盧生存與發展策略之研究
A study on national competition of Benelux strategy for existence and development.
摘要
比利時、荷蘭、盧森堡三個小國家為西歐低地國國家，國土不廣，但位經要塞通衢，因此經歷世界第一次與第二次世界大戰之摧殘，此後放棄中立國之身分，開始進行經濟體質轉型並強化小國安全政策，三方結盟，轉型成功成為歐洲大陸相對較穩定的國家。它們擁有鄰近的地緣關係、共同歷史背景、優質的高等教育程度、多語言環境、高科技與生活結合以及高品質產業技術和投資優惠措施等優勢。自1944年以後，成功復興經濟，吸引大國結盟，之後更吸引大批外資進駐，其小國智慧掀起無限商機。比利時、荷蘭、盧森堡三國結盟，成立比荷盧關稅聯盟與經濟聯盟，希冀透過合作關係，消除關稅壁壘，提升戰後之經濟效能，創造共同市場，並運用其組織平台，彼此持續協調、商談，成就現今於全方位領域下，皆能成為歐盟小國表率之國家。 1993年11月1日歐盟成立後，其聯盟仍舊活躍至今，不因歐盟成立便萎靡。每年依舊提出各樣議程草案，包含外交、教育、經濟、安全、科技與環保等政策提出三個國家的共同立場及目標。上述各樣策略發展更強化歐洲整合一體化之進程。本研究為探究比荷盧聯盟三個國家，比利時、荷蘭、盧森堡小國生存與發展策略歷程做出進一步的分析。

Since the end of the WWII in 1994, it was inevitable to create a platform for the countries of Western Europe to transform their country security, society, economic and political structures to integrate into the Benelux Union. As a result, it was founded on 5 September 1944, when the governments of the three countries (still in exile in London) signed a customs union agreement which came into effect on 1 January 1948. The acronym 'Benelux' incorporates the names of the three countries (Belgique/België, Nederland, Luxembourg). The Benelux Union brings together the kingdoms of Belgium and the Netherlands as well as the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg. And the members of Benelux have common historical and cultural background, religious tradition, similar civilization and values of Europe. They been together to be stronger, and consequently, establishing the European Union. Furthermore, the original members of what came to be known as the European Communities were the Inner Six: Belgium, Netherlands, Luxembourg, France, Italy, and West Germany. The Low countries have preserved common cultural value and strengthened their position through the Benelux platform. This thesis works on the strategy for existence and development in the Benelux Union with the process of European integration. The study presents sets out to formulate the necessary requirements for putting in place a strategy aimed at the sustainable development of the Benelux Union. It is concluded that the quality of the Benelux union and, in particular, the BE, NE, LUX are crucial to the regionalization of European Union benefits.
