The People¡¦s Republic of China has been growing into a financially dominant country in company with its open-door policy and active role in the international affairs in Eastern Asia. They regard regional cooperation as one of the important external tactics and gradually develop themselves into the centre of ¡§trans-regional cooperation¡¨ in Eastern Asia that rapidly transforms the international outlook. Thus what are their foreign policies? When we believe that a stabilized environment contributes to a fine international space for survival, how will the interactions between ASEAN and China further influence the integration of Eastern Asia in the future? This thesis takes the approaches of ¡§neo-regionalism¡¨ to examine the relation of the post cold-war China and ASEAN and to speculate the future development By means of analyzing the specific documents regarding their multi-dimensional cooperation, I would like to observe the mutual development in order to understand how they effect the international outlook in Eastern Asia. My study discovers that the multi-layered interactions in diplomacy, politics, economy and security between China and the ASEAN country members that construct regional economic cooperation help an integrated regional identity in Eastern Asia. Finally, Eastern Asia¡¦s future order would walk towards a framework of multilateral security.

現階段國內對於澳洲與南太島國關係之研究較少，澳洲研究多著重在與美日及東南亞等國之關係，本論文目的即在透過新區域主義之觀點，探討澳洲的南太政策及其對該區域整合之影響。 在論述過程中，本論文廣泛從澳洲與南太島國在各領域之互動，如高層互訪、經貿交流、援外政策、國防合作以及在區域組織之互動來觀察南太地區共享價值與區域認同的形成，以分析並預測南太地區形成新區域主義的前景。 透過本論文之分析與論述，筆者認為，以澳洲積極參與南太區域組織及全力協助解決島國所遭遇之不同難題觀之（太平洋島國論壇、索羅門群島危機…等），澳洲對南太地區事務之介入日深，這當然也是基於澳洲自身的國家利益，然而在積極參與南太事務的同時，澳洲必需妥甚處理其與南太島國的關係，避免被貼上區域霸權或過度干預的標籤。 / Currently, most Australian studies in Taiwan are focused on Australian relations with the US, Japan and ASEAN instead of South Pacific countries. The purpose of this thesis is to analyze Australia’s South Pacific policies and their impacts on the regional integration through the viewpoint of neo-regionalism. This thesis looks at Australia’s relations with the Pacific countries in various fields such as high-level official visits, trade and business, foreign aid, defense cooperation and activities in the Pacific regional regimes to observe the formation of share values and regional identification in the region in order to analyze and predict the prospects of neo-regionalism in the South Pacific. This thesis finds that Australia is deeply involved in the South Pacific affairs by participating regional activities and helping to solve different problems in those island countries (PIF, Solomon Island Crisis…). Of course, national interest is Australia’s main concern. However, Australia has to deal with its relations with island countries very carefully while it’s involving in different regional affairs in order not to be considered as regional hegemon or over intervention.
