南中國海主權爭議問題存在已久,因其特殊的地理環境與政治背景,包含台灣、中國、菲律賓、越南、馬來西亞和汶萊均對該區域宣稱擁有部分南海群島或者海域主權。在1970年代以後,南海問題因周邊國家島嶼主權、海域管轄權以及海洋資源,包含該區域漁獲、石油與天然氣等,發生了多次衝突。 隨著冷戰結束,亞太地區逐漸走向區域多邊主義,東協組織的對話功能逐漸受到區域內國家的青睞,兩岸雖並非東協組織的會員國,但都積極尋求對話交流管道,中國在1990年後,睦鄰外交成為其外交政策主軸,與東協國家也大幅改善關係,並且在1994年成為「東協區域論壇」的一員;台灣雖然受到種種政治因素而無法參與,也藉由1991年起每年在印尼召開的「南海潛在衝突會議」的非官方機制來表述意見。2002年東協與中國在柬埔寨金邊共同簽署「南海各方行為宣言」,雖不具備國際法的法律效力,但已經凸顯在多邊機制下的豐碩成果。2010年美國高調的「重返亞洲」立場,更是牽動近幾年來,整個南海問題的錯綜複雜。 本文以互賴理論為理論架構,討論兩岸在過去南海問題上的歷史背景與實際作為,再從兩岸於一軌與二軌外交 (官方與非官方)機制上的相互競賽,並輔以東協聲索國的主張依據與聲明,做綜合性的整合,最後提出兩岸對於南海問題可能的處理機制。
