摘要

叶海亚-贾梅最有影响的外交关系之一是与中华民国在台湾(台湾)建立外交关系。虽然贾梅与台湾建立外交关系的决定在 1995 年立即为军政府带来了 3500 万美元的收入,但政治家和政策制定者却批评这一决定不合理。然而,既没有人试图记录这种关系所带来的利益,也没有人试图证明这种关系的合理性。本文试图解释贾梅外交政策的合理性,并记录从中获得的利益。本文采用合理性作为理论框架。作为主要数据来源的 150 多份报告的审查显示,1974-1994 年间来自中国的现金贷款和援助约为 5000 万美元,而 1995-2012 年间台湾的现金和支票捐赠估计为 398,658,655 美元。因此,本文得出结论,考虑到台湾在教育、卫生和农业等方面的众多贡献,贾梅的对台外交政策在程序和经济上都是合理的。

The Gambia-Taiwan Relations, 1995-2013: Yahya Jammeh’s Foreign Policy Rationality
One of Yahya Jammeh’s most consequential diplomatic relations was with the Republic of China on Taiwan (Taiwan). Although Jammeh’s decision to have diplomatic relations with Taiwan immediately brought US $35 million to the Junta in 1995, it has been criticised by politicians and policy makers for being irrational. However, there has been neither an attempt to document the benefits derived from the relationship nor the rationality that justified the relationship. This paper attempts to explain the rationality of Jammeh’s foreign policy and to document the benefits derived. The paper adopted rationality as a theoretical framework. The review of over 150 reports as the main source of data revealed that while loans and aid in cash from China between 1974-1994 was approximately $50,000,000, Taiwan’s cash and cheque donations was estimated at $398,658,655 between 1995-2012. The paper thus concluded that Jammeh’s foreign policy on Taiwan was procedurally and economically rational considering Taiwan’s numerous contributions to education, health and agriculture amongst others.
