澳洲南太平洋外交政策對台灣南太邦交關係的影響(1989-2008)
Influnce of Australia’s South-Pacific Foreign Policies on Taiwan’s Diplomatic Relations in the South-Pacifc Region (1989-2008)
摘要
台灣在南太平洋地區有吉里巴斯、馬紹爾群島、諾魯、帛琉、索羅門群島、吐瓦魯等六個邦交國，佔台灣目前邦交國數目四分之ㄧ強，更是在亞太地區僅有的全部邦交國。鑒於南太地區對澳洲有其外交戰略重要性，倘能瞭解澳洲對南太平洋各國之外交政策，及影響其制定南太政策之因素，應有助於台灣制定有效的南太政策。 本文從澳洲在政治、經濟等層面影響南太國家的實際案例，以及澳洲對南太各國經濟援助情形兩指標分析澳洲南太政策對南太國家的影響力，嗣依據澳洲南太政策對個別島國與台灣發展或鞏固邦交關係的差異，建立「澳洲對台灣南太邦交影響圈」，藉以釐清台灣發展或維持南太邦交應有的務實作為，最後提出政策建議，以提升政策品質，進而增進達成整體外交目標及戰略的可能性。

Since Kiribati, Marshall Islands, Nauru, Palau, Solomon Islands and Tuvalu constitute one fourth countries of Taiwan’s formal diplomatic relationship around the world, equivalent to all of the relations in the Asia-Pacific region, Taiwan’s South-Pacific diplomacy needs not be emphasized again in Taiwan’s foreign affairs. Once Australia’s South-Pacific foreign polices and its decision-making elements are understood, due to Aussie power over Oceania, Taiwan’s South-Pacific diplomatic relations would benefit from making better South-Pacific policies in response to Australia’s foreign policies in this region. On the basis of case studies on Aussie-Oceanian relationship in political, economic and security dimensions, and of AusAid to Oceanian island countries, this thesis develops a model―Circles of Australian Influence on Taiwan’s Diplomacy in Oceania―to help Taiwan approach a more practical South-Pacific policies for her own national interest. In the end of this thesis, some practical policies are suggested, which might be helpful to Taiwan’s diplomatic activities in the South-Pacific region and to her aggregate diplomatic objects as well .
