Abstract:

In this article we elucidate the evolution of Hanoi’s foreign policy proactivism which has been understudied in the contemporary literature. In selective areas, why has Vietnam adopted a more proactive foreign policy than before? By means of ‘two-level game’ theory, official documents and research papers, and expert interviews, we analyze the foreign policy of Vietnam and compare it with that of Indonesia, ASEAN’s de facto leader, by examining the former’s role in the South China Sea issue and international economic integration strategy. In these aspects which Vietnam today has evinced its sectoral leadership, compared to Indonesia, the country has faced fewer constraints in domestic and international strategic environments to exert its diplomatic proactivism.

摘要：

在这篇文章中，我们阐明了河内外交政策积极主义的演变，这在当代文献中得到了充分的研究。为什么越南在特定领域采取了比以往更加积极主动的外交政策？通过“两层博弈”理论、官方文件和研究论文以及专家访谈，我们分析了越南的外交政策，并将其与东盟事实上的领导者印度尼西亚的外交政策进行了比较，考察了前者在华南地区的作用海洋问题与国际经济一体化战略。与印度尼西亚相比，越南今天在这些方面表现出的行业领导地位，在国内和国际战略环境中发挥其外交积极性所面临的限制较少。
