摘要

本文以东帝汶为例,探讨小国的外交。它分析了小国的外交政策策略,包括双边和多边外交,参与国际组织和全球治理,以及利用公共外交。这些外交工具使小国能够在资源有限的情况下追求其外交政策目标,同时也促进了与大国的合作关系。外交被认为是一种普遍的机制,像东帝汶这样的小国可以通过外交融入全球国际关系体系。鉴于小国在与大国和中等大国竞争时的固有局限性,它们寻求通过集体行动,例如在国际组织或政府间论坛中组建或加入联盟,来增强其国际影响力。此外,小国利用公共外交吸引人们关注它们的问题和需求,从而减少对大国的依赖,并与其他国家建立更有利的合作关系。模仿与平衡、参与联盟、推动国际倡议、提供专业知识和遵守国际法原则等战略被用来培养小国作为国际关系中负责任的行动者和可靠伙伴的积极形象。文章的结论是,东帝汶成功地维持了双边和多边关系,并积极参与国际组织。然而,在有效运用公共外交机制方面面临着制度性挑战。这些挑战可归因于不发达的国家公共机构和大国的持久影响,这不仅影响到东帝汶,而且影响到更广泛的区域。

The Diplomacy of Small States: Exploring Opportunities and Limitations in the Case of Timor-Leste
This article examines the diplomacy of small states, focusing on the case of TimorLeste. It analyzes the foreign policy strategies of small states, which encompass bilateral and multilateral diplomacy, engagement in international organizations and global governance, and the utilization of public diplomacy. These diplomatic tools enable small states to pursue their foreign policy objectives despite their limited resources, while also fostering cooperative relationships with larger powers. Diplomacy is regarded as a universal mechanism through which small states like Timor-Leste can integrate into the global international relations system.Given the inherent limitations of small states in contesting with major and middle powers, they seek to enhance their international influence through collective actions, such as forming or joining coalitions in international organizations or intergovernmental forums. Additionally, small states employ public diplomacy to draw attention to their issues and needs, thereby reducing their reliance on greater powers and forging more advantageous collaborations with other states. Strategies such as imitation and balancing, participation in coalitions, promotion of international initiatives, provision of expertise, and adherence to the principles of international law are utilized to cultivate a positive image of small states as responsible actors in international relations and reliable partners.The article concludes that Timor-Leste has been successful in maintaining bilateral and multilateral relations and actively participating in international organizations. However, it faces systemic challenges in effectively employing public diplomacy mechanisms. These challenges can be attributed to underdeveloped national public institutions and the enduring influence of greater powers, which affect not only Timor-Leste but also the wider region.
