Overview: 世界正在進入新冷戰時代嗎?中國美國,誰會輸誰會贏?欲知分曉,請隨作者一同深入兩強競逐實況的縮影之地:東南亞。【內容說明】國際關係錯綜複雜,但若問今日最大看點為何,答案應會眾口一致,咸認莫過於美中兩大強權之間的競爭。其白熱化程度,廣泛引起新冷戰時代是否已經到來的討論。新冷戰真的到來了嗎?這場大國交鋒誰會占得上風?中國崛起美國衰弱乃大勢所趨抑或暫時表象?針對上述很多讀者關心的問題,本書作者沈大偉(David Shambaugh)以美中在東南亞的競逐為觀察對象,結合實地訪查、文獻研究和客觀數據,寓精闢見解於扎實剖析之中。沈大偉認為,美中兩強爭奪支配力和影響力的煙硝,遍及全世界,而以東南亞為重地。美中在此地區的對抗,可說是兩強在全世界對抗的縮影。因此,掌握美中在東南亞的博弈情況,等於掌握了這場賽局的全貌。沈大偉是美國著名中國與亞洲事務學者及政府智囊。在書中,他以簡潔平易的文字,描繪出一幅細節豐富、跨越時空的全景卷軸,展開後,美、中、東南亞三方行動者的歷史接觸、當前關係與未來走向,盡收眼底。作者首先綜論美中在東南亞競爭的概況,針對美國單憑軍事硬實力、中國專憑經濟軟實力在東南亞行走的二分刻板框架,提出挑戰。由於美中和東南亞現在關係,深受過去關係影響,於是接著帶領讀者回溯美中分別在東南亞種下的前因,及其各自結成的後果。後半從東南亞視角出發,逐一檢視東協十國如何出招周旋於兩強之間。最後預測美中與東南亞合演的地緣政治權謀戲,有哪些可能劇情發展。東南亞是臺灣的鄰居,與我們有密切的經貿往來和頻繁的人口互動,政府近年來更大力推動「新南向政策」,希望加深彼此連結。東南亞是中美兩強競逐的必爭之地,臺灣同樣身處美中角力的戰場前線。因此,《中美爭霸:兩強相遇東南亞》對於東協十國歷史與現狀的扼要介紹,對於美中與東南亞地緣政治局勢的銳利洞見,很值得我們汲取細讀,作為借鑑參考。【專文導讀】蔡宏政|國立中山大學東南亞研究中心主任莊嘉穎|新加坡國立大學政治系副教授
