自“全球英国”战略推出以来,英国持续关注并扩大其在印太地区的影响。2023年,英国的印太战略取得了显著进展,相较2022年出现了重要的新动向和新特点。本文从英国印太战略的背景入手,分析其在2023年的具体表现,包括加强与印太国家的双边和多边合作、军事和安全部署、深化经济和贸易关系等内容,并与2022年进行比较,探讨英国在应对地缘政治变化和全球化新格局中的新角色与新特点。随着全球局势的变化,特别是中美竞争的加剧以及俄乌冲突的持续,以及2023年末中东战火的燃起,英国对印太地区的关注度进一步提升。印太地区作为全球经济增长的核心区域和全球大国矛盾的交汇点,其地缘政治局势复杂多变。英国强化在该区域的战略介入,既是对其“全球英国”战略的政策实践,也是对全球权力与财富重心东移这一历史趋势的认知和反应。
Since the launch of the UK’s “Global Britain” strategy,Britain has been focusing on and expanding its impact in the Indo-Pacific region. In 2023,the British Indo-Pacific strategy has made significant progress,with new developments and new features of importance. This article will analyze its specific performance in the UK’s Indo-Pacific strategy,including strengthening bilateral and multilateral cooperation in regional cooperation,military and security,economic and trade relations,and comparing with 2022 to discuss the new role and new point in the new pattern of geopolitical change and globalization. In 2023,as the global situation changed,especially the growing competition between the United States and China,the protracted war between Russia and Ukraine,and the complicated conflicts in the Middle East,Britain’s attention to the Indo-Pacific region was further improved. Given the fact that the Indo-Pacific region is playing an increasingly pivotal role in global economic growth and has become a major arena for big power competitions,the strengthened Indo-Pacific strategy of Britain is not only a part of is “Global Britain” strategy but also a response to the historical trend of global power and wealth shifting.
