中文摘要

In mid-March 2023, British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak (2022-present) published the policy research paper, Integrated Review Refresh 2023: Responding to a More Contested and Volatile World. This was actually the revised version of the first official post-Brexit international policy paper published in March 2021 by former Prime Minister Boris Johnson (2019-2022), Global Britain in a Competitive Age: The Integrated Review of Security, Defence, Development and Foreign Policy. This paper aims to contextualize the related British policy discussions against the larger U.S.-China rivalrous context by identifying the relevant events and discussions within the British public policy and political circles as well as international community. It also assesses the British government's intention by asking whether London aims to align with the Biden administration to contain China in the Indo- Pacific or not. Finally, drawing from British academic discussions taken place between March 2021 and March 2023, it will outline the British government's possible Indo-Pacific and China policy framework.

英文摘要

2023年3月,英國首相辛偉誠(2022-今)出版題為《綜合評估刷新2023:應對競爭更激烈和動盪的世界》的政策文件。這文件其實是2021年3月前首相約翰遜(2019-2022)出版首份脫歐後官方國際政策文件《競爭時代的全球英國:安全、國防、發展和外交政策的綜合回顧》的修訂版。本文旨在將這兩份英國政策文件進行處境性分析,以美國與中國競爭為大背景,從而鑒定英國政圈、公共政策圈、和國際社會內有關的事件和討論。本文也研判英國政府是否與美國拜登政府在印度-太平洋區域圍堵中國的政策對齊。最後,根據2021年3月到2023年3月間被挑選英國學者的有關討論,本文將勾勒出英國政府對印太區及中國的可能政策框架。
