2022年是国际局势颇为复杂的一年，大洋洲地区各国也迎来了各具特点的发展态势。经济上，澳大利亚和新西兰努力摆脱疫情带来的负面影响，太平洋岛国经济也有一定的复苏迹象；与此同时，中国与大洋洲地区的经贸往来缓慢升温，成为地区经济向好的重要刺激因素。政治上，澳大利亚经历了政府换届，而新西兰工党政府的执政受到明显挑战，多个太平洋岛国则进行了大选，尽管各国大选总体平稳，却也引发了一些社会内部暴力冲突。外交上，大洋洲地区继续成为国际政治所关注的新兴热点地区，域内各国在外交应对上呈现不同的动向。总体来看，大洋洲国家外交的自主性有所增强。
The year 2022 witnessed a complicated situation in the international prospects. Different countries in Oceania have also ushered in different development trends with their own characteristics. Economically，Australia and New Zealand were struggling to shake off the negative impact of the pandemic，while the economies of pacific island countries were showing signs of recovery. At the same time，economic and trade exchanges between China and Oceania have been slowly heating up，which became an important stimulus factor for the improvement of regional economy. On the political aspect，Australia experienced a change of its government，while New Zealand’s Labor government was clearly challenged in holding its power. Meanwhile，several pacific island countries held general elections，which，while generally smooth，also led to some internal violence. Just like in 2021，great power competition still affected the regional countries’diplomatic inclinations. Oceania continued to become an emerging hot spot in international politics，and countries in the region showed different trends in dealing with foreign affairs. On the whole，the regional countries’ diplomatic autonomy has been strengthened.
