在地化趨勢與三角合作：兼論臺灣在國際合作中的新角色

Localization Trends and Triangular Cooperation: A Discussion on Taiwan's New Role in International Cooperation

本文探討在國際發展合作逐漸強調「在地化」（localization）的趨勢下，三角合作（triangular cooperation）的制度意涵與實踐機會。相較於傳統由援助國主導的自上而下援助模式，當前發展合作逐漸轉向強調在地參與、需求導向與夥伴關係重構。本文從知識轉譯角度出發，提出「轉譯能力」、「對等程度」與「制度延續性」等三項分析維度，以檢視三角合作在在地化實踐中的運作機制。研究指出，三角合作不僅是資源整合，更是透過中介行動者進行知識調適與關係重組的制度安排。在此基礎上，本文分析臺灣在三角合作中的潛在角色，主張可藉產業發展所累積之客製化經驗與技術轉譯能力，扮演關鍵中介與技術節點角色，進而在有限資源下強化我國在國際合作中的功能性定位，並促進更具在地脈絡與永續性的發展合作。

This paper explores the institutional implications and practical opportunities of triangular cooperation under the growing trend of ''localization'' in international development cooperation. In contrast to traditional, top-down assistance models dominated by donor countries, contemporary development cooperation has shifted toward emphasizing local participation, demand-driven approaches, and the reconfiguration of partnerships. Drawing upon the perspective of knowledge translation, this paper proposes three analytical dimensions—''translation capacity,'' ''degree of reciprocity,'' and ''institutional continuity''—to examine the operational mechanisms of triangular cooperation in local practice. The research indicates that triangular cooperation represents more than mere resource integration; rather, it is an institutional arrangement that facilitates knowledge adaptation and relational restructuring through intermediary actors. On this basis, this paper analyzes Taiwan's potential role in triangular cooperation, arguing that Taiwan can leverage its customized experience accumulated from industrial development, along with its technology translation capacity, to serve as a crucial intermediary and technological node. This approach would allow Taiwan to strengthen its functional positioning within international cooperation under resource constraints, while promoting development cooperation that is more sustainable and context-specific.
