非西方多邊治理初探：發展、挑戰與阻礙

Non-Western Multilateral Governance: Development, Challenges and Obstacles

多邊主義作為一種西方秩序建構，特別是二次大戰結束後的自由國際秩序（liberal international order），彰顯了多邊主義乃全球治理的基礎，而區域層級多邊治理的建構則是為了回應全球治理之缺失與不足。正如2020年2月召開的慕尼黑安全會議的主題，非西方化（Westlessness）已成為探討全球治理與區域治理的重要環節。
本文試圖檢視非西方多邊治理在亞洲的發展現況，並分析其面臨的挑戰與障礙。文中將首先回顧西方多邊主義的特質，其次聚焦亞洲區域組織的治理機制，以及非西方力量的復興（主要為中國的崛起）對於區域多邊治理的提倡與推動。最後，本文分析非西方多邊主義面臨的挑戰與阻礙，提出一個非西方治理的初步觀點。

Multilateralism, as a West-initiated Order, emerged after the end of the second World War. It has been the institutional foundation of the postwar liberal international order. The deficiency and inadequacy of global multilateral governance have given rise to the construction of regional multilateralism. As revealed in the Munich Security Conference held in February 2020, Westlessness is being discussed as a new concept in global and regional governance. This paper aims at exploring the development of non-Western multilateralism in the context of Asia, and delving into challenges and obstacles it faces.
The characteristics of western multilateralism are at first reviewed. Second, Asia-specific regional organizations, in particular, the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN), is an illustrative case for examination. The third part pays attention to the resurgence of non-Western forces, mainly the rise of China, and its proposals and initiatives in the region. Finally, a preliminary perspective on non-Western governance adds to the existing literature and awaits further theoretical elaboration.
