柬埔寨外交政策面向

Foreign Policy Dimensions of Cambodia

中國在協助柬國的道路、橋樑、交通等基礎建設上，其經濟貢獻度遠高於美國的民主、人權、區域安全以及公民社會的觀念，此導致柬國民眾以及政府對中國的扈從，並建構了柬國的外交政策面向。本文嘗試從國際關係研究途徑的三個分析層次，亦即個人層次分析、國家層次分析以及系統層次分析，去理解柬國外交政策面向。在極大化國家利益的前提下，扈從中國的柬埔寨認為他是在執行務實的避險策略，在務實的經濟外交政策上依附中國，在其他議題與美國和東協保持互動。柬國究竟是中國的附庸國，或僅是採取避險的經濟實用主義？留待時間去驗證。

China’s economic contribution to assisting Cambodia’s roads, bridges, transportation and other infrastructure is much higher valued than that of the United States’concepts of democracy, human rights, regional security, and civil society, which also led tothe subordinates of the Cambodian people and the government to China, and constructed the foreign policy dimensions of Cambodia. This article attempts to explore the foreign policy dimensions of Cambodia from the three levels of analysis of the international relations research approach, namely the individual-level analysis, the state-level analysis and the system-level analysis. On the premise of maximizing national interests, Cambodia, who is subordinate to China, believes that it is implementing a pragmatic hedging strategy, attaching itself to China in a pragmatic economic foreign policy, and maintaining interaction with the United States and ASEAN on other issues. Is Cambodia a vassal state of China, or is it just economic pragmatism of hedging? Onlytime will tell.
