Abstract

When Australia deploys tools of statecraft in attempts to develop influence with Pacific Island neighbours, inherent colonial legacies exist which are not always recognised, but ultimately affect relationships. We examine Australian economic tools of statecraft applied to migration, trade and development aid, and how a colonial ‘logic of habit’ persists within their deployment which unintentionally undermines their effectiveness. In highlighting these historical hangovers, we suggest reimagining Australiaʼs perceptions of and relations with the Pacific—from neighbours with resources to be utilised, to mutually respected trading partners.

在澳大利亚与太平洋岛屿的经济外交中挑战殖民习惯逻辑

当澳大利亚运用国家工具试图发展与太平洋岛屿邻国的影响力时，固有的殖民遗留问题并不总能得到承认，但却最终影响了双方的关系。我们研究了澳大利亚应用于移民、贸易和发展援助的国家经济手段，以及在这些手段的应用中，殖民主义的 "习惯逻辑 "是如何长期存在，并无意中削弱了这些手段的有效性。通过强调这些历史遗留问题，我们建议重新认识澳大利亚对太平洋地区的看法以及与太平洋地区的关系--从拥有可利用资源的邻国转变为相互尊重的贸易伙伴。
