2019～2020年澳大利亚的南太“升级”政策：在急剧变动的区域中寻求安全

Abstract:One of the most important changes in Australia’s strategic environment in recent years has been the increasingly complex and challenging geopolitics in the South Pacific. Accordingly，the last few years have seen major adjustments in Australia’s policy towards the region. In particular，under the current Morrison government，Australia has accelerated the implementation of its Pacific ‘Step-up’ policy，elevating it to be one of the highest foreign policy priorities for Australia. Nevertheless，the different views between Australia and the Pacific Island Countries（PICs）over China’s growing presence in the region，the rising demands of PICs for a greater role in managing regional affairs，and the significant conflict of interests between Australia and PICs over the issue of climate changes，have posed considerable challenges for Canberra in its implementation of the ‘Step-up’ policy.
