摘要

「印度－太平洋」一詞近幾年成為眾所矚目的焦點，甚至迅速取代各界對於「亞洲－太平洋」的關注。不只是全球主要政治領袖紛紛關注「印太區域」的發展與榮景、積極凸顯「印太戰略」的重要性，而國際間重要外交政策智庫亦密集辦理會議及論壇，詳細比較區域國家的「印太政策」，試圖歸納出印太區域政經發展的當前圖象與未來路向。此種在戰略或政策論述上正逐漸由「亞太」朝「印太」轉向的變革，蔚為趨勢。本文將探討正在發展中的印太戰略，從區域內部與外部的形構動力著手，對照主要利害關係國的多元政策論述與核心關注，進一步分析印太戰略的整體布局。最後，本文將以印太戰略的未來與對臺灣的意涵作為結論。

Much attention has been paid to the notion and setting of ＂Indo-Pacific＂ in recent years. It becomes a buzzword, to some extent, replacing ＂Asia- Pacific＂ as the focal point in regional stability and prosperity among stakeholders in Asia. In order to better portray contesting approaches for Indo-Pacific engagement, this study explores driving forces that shape the current power configuration in the Indo-Pacific region, unfolds the development of Indo-Pacific strategies among major powers such as Japan, the United States, Australia and India, and concludes with strategic implications for Taiwan's New Southbound Policy.
