美國軍售與入聯合國政策之比較分析:台灣 1990-2014 / A Comparative Analysis of US Weapons Sales and UN Strategy in Taiwan from 1990-2014

相較過去冷戰時期的輝煌,台灣現今的國際地位黯然失色許多。自從台灣退出聯合國,與美國斷交後,台灣 (中華民國)的外交地位已漸漸在政治上被孤立。當戒嚴末期,台灣迫切地想重返過去的外交榮景。然而,面對中華人民共和國的威脅時,台灣在國際社會上極為艱困地維繫自己的主權。台灣的領導人透過積極參與國際組織與互動,尤其是聯合國與美國對台軍售,來打破如此艱困的外交處境。

在三屆的總統任期中,台灣對聯合國與對美軍售策略已漸漸形成雛形。在初步研究下,美國對台軍售有可能對台灣加入聯合國政策出現影響。換言之,購得有力的武器,台灣加入聯合國的策略就越顯積極。

回顧美國與台灣政府的文獻資料,台灣領導人訪談紀錄,報章雜誌和其他官方文件與紀錄,此研究旨在檢視在三位總統(李登輝、陳水扁、馬英九)任期內 (1990 到 2014年),美國同意對台軍售與台灣加入聯合國的策略。研究結果指出美國對台軍售的武器打擊能力與台灣加入聯合國政策相關的可能性。 / Taiwan’s present international status has degraded considerably since its former glory days during the Cold War era. With its ejection out of the United Nations (UN) and a diplomatic severance with its most vital ally, the United States, Taiwan (ROC) has slowly slipped into political limbo. The island has frantically strived to pull itself back into the world community since the end of martial law. However, it has struggled to maintain its sovereignty and international status in the face of constant threat from the PRC (People’s Republic of China) . Taiwan’s leaders have sought alternative strategies to combat such adverse diplomatic conditions through increasing its membership or participation in various global organizations—particularly the United Nations, and continued arms purchases from the US.
Within the span of three presidencies, there appears to be a pattern between Taiwan’s UN strategies and US approved arms sales. Upon initial research, US weapons sales appear to have an effect on UN policy. That is, the more significant the arms sale, the more aggressive Taiwan’s methods for UN participation becomes.
Drawing from US and Taiwanese government records, Taiwanese presidential interviews, newspaper articles and other official documents and transcripts, this dissertation aims to examine US approved arms sales and UN strategies under three Taiwanese presidents: Lee Teng Hui, Chen Shui-Bian and Ma Ying Jeou from 1990 to 2014. The findings indicate a possible indirect correlation. Considering the weapons’ strategic capability, Taiwan’s UN strategy fluctuates accordingly.
