淡江大學國際事務學院與對外關係協會(以下簡稱本會)於本(111)年7月27日上午共同舉辦「國際跨域合作伙伴平台的發展:七國集團與金磚Plus」線上研討會。
會議由前外交部長林永樂大使(本會創始會員)主持,淡江大學國際事務學院包正豪院長與本會令狐榮達副會長致詞,本會前副會長鄭文華大使擔任與談人。另邀請方天賜(國立清華大學通識中心副教授兼印度中心副主任、臺灣印度研究協會理事長)、黃富娟(淡江大學國際事務學院拉丁美洲研究所教授)、賀凱(澳洲格里菲斯大學Griffith University治理與公共政策中心主任、政府與國際關係系教授)、卓忠宏(淡江大學國際事務學院歐洲研究所所長)、蔡東杰(國立中興大學人文社會科學前瞻研究中心主任、國際政治研究所教授)等五位學者為發表人,以超越台灣的觀點探討七國集團(G7)與金磚國家集團(BRICS)的最新發展。
首先,方天賜教授從印度觀點談BRICS最新發展。方教授表示,BRICS集團具反西方色彩,成員為追求「多極化」的全球性大國。而印中關係在BRICS的未來發展扮演關鍵角色,但雙方自2020年的加萬河谷衝突後關係緊張,印度擔憂中國試圖主導BRICS。
第二,黃富娟教授從拉美觀點談BRICS最新發展。黃教授指出,巴西在BRICS的參與受到國內左右派政府外交政策落差和美中爭相拉攏影響。不過,拉美有望添增第二個BRICS成員—阿根廷,對成員之糧食和能源議題可有所貢獻。黃教授評估,BRICS國家之間因結構異質性,導致發展成緊密聯盟仍存在許多挑戰。
第三,賀凱主任從中國大陸觀點發表BRICS最新發展。賀主任表示,中國在BRICS採取一種「排他性制度制衡」戰略,欲藉此增強其在國際制度的聲音和實力。該集團缺乏凝聚團體的兩大要素—共同威脅與共同利益。儘管如此,BRICS亦具備兩個機遇—西方對金磚集團的態度與共同努力。BRICS之發展雖然會引起國際關係上競爭加劇,但制度制衡還是較軍事聯盟間之對抗「和平的」,有望促進國際秩序的漸進式轉型。
第四,卓忠宏所長向與會人從歐洲觀點談G7最新發展。卓所長就本年G7高峰會的主軸,剖析歐洲各項問題。他解釋,當前歐洲最大困境是:將傳統安全思維轉向非傳統安全思維。俄國在俄烏戰爭下以能源、糧食為武器,即便歐盟端出節約能源等政策,仍難彌補來自俄國的能源缺口。又烏克蘭有大量糧食無法出口,估計會有3.3億人陷入飢荒,進而導致南地中海難民再起。歐洲無限收容烏克蘭難民,將使經濟負擔沈重。此等問題皆源來自於BRICS成員中俄,倘若歐洲跟BRICS合作,將有助於解決現在的問題。
第五,蔡東杰主任從美國的觀點談G7最新發展。蔡主任闡述,美國從冷戰開始即為霸權,並透過制度作為平台實踐,依自國國家利益的轉變而設定G7的角色。G7的創立是為了持續美國經濟霸權的工具,但2008年後,中國大陸成為美國鎖定的對手,G7的性質方轉變為「同盟化」的工具。
最後,與談人鄭文華大使從經濟實力與結構特性來比較兩大集團。鄭大使說明,G7都是已開發資本主義的先進國家,且整合程度相當高、凝聚力強,但是對外相對封閉。相較之下,BRICS經濟實力參差不齊,在各面向都與G7相反,它的優勢在於對外持開放性的態度,如果擴大成員,並內部加強凝聚力,對重大國際議題有高度的共識和表態才能發揮更大的影響力。

⭐Press Release 】Online seminar on “International cross-domain partner platform development: G7 and Golden Eagle Plus”
The School of International Affairs of Tamjiang University and the Association for Foreign Relations (hereafter referred to as the Association) co-hosted the online seminar "Development of the International Cross-domain Partner Platform: G7 and Golden Eagle Plus" on the morning of July 27, 2017.
The meeting was hosted by former Foreign Minister Ambassador Lin Yongle (Founding Member of the Association). Dean Bao Zhenghao of the School of International Affairs of Tamjiang University and Vice President of the Association, Hu Rongda, delivered a speech. Ambassador Wu Wenhua, former Vice President of the Association, served as the speaker. Five scholars, including Fang Tianqi (Associate Professor of General Studies Center of National Tsinghua University and Deputy Director of India Center, Chairman of Taiwan Indian Studies Association), Huang Fu-chuan (Professor of Latin American Institute of International Affairs, School of International Affairs, Tanjiang University), Wu Kai (Director of the Center for Governance and Public Policy, Griffith University, Australia, Department of Government and International Relations), Zhuo Zhonghong (Director of the Institute of European Studies, School of International Affairs, Tanjiang University), Cai Dongjie (Director of the Institute of Humanities and Social Sciences, National Zhongxing University, Professor of International Political Studies), were invited to discuss the latest developments of the G7 and BRICS from
First of all, Professor Fang Tianqi talks about the latest developments in BRICS from an Indian perspective. Professor Fang said the BRICS group is anti-Western and its members are global powers pursuing "multipolarization". India-China relations play a key role in the future of BRICS, but tensions between the two sides have been strained since the 2020 Kavan Valley conflict, and India is concerned about China’s attempts to dominate BRICS
Second, Prof. Huang Fuqi talks about the latest developments in BRICS from a Latin American perspective. Professor Huang pointed out that Brazil's participation in BRICS is influenced by the foreign policy gap between the left and right governments at home and the US-China rivalry. However, Latin America is expected to add a second BRICS member - Argentina - to contribute to the food and energy issues of the membership. Professor Huang assesses that there are still many challenges to developing a close alliance between BRICS countries due to structural heterogeneity.
Third, Director Jiang Kai presented the latest development of BRICS from the perspective of mainland China. Director Jiang said China has adopted a strategy of "exclusive system checks and balances" at BRICS, which aims to strengthen its voice and strength in the international system. The group lacks the two elements that unite the group - common threat and common good. Nonetheless, BRICS has two opportunities - Western attitude towards the BRIC group and joint efforts. Although the development of BRICS will lead to increased competition in international relations, institutional checks and balances are "peaceful" than military alliances, and are expected to promote a progressive transformation of the international order.
Fourth, Director Zhuo Zhonghong spoke to the participants about the latest developments in the G7 from a European perspective. Director Zhuo dissects European issues on the main axis of this year's G7 summit. He explained that the biggest dilemma in Europe is to shift traditional security thinking to non-traditional security thinking. Russia used energy and food as weapons in the Russian-Ukraine war, even if the EU put out energy saving policies, it is still difficult to make up for the energy gap from Russia. Ukraine has a huge amount of food to be exported, and an estimated 330 million people will fall into hunger, leading to a resurgence of southern Mediterranean refugees. Europe's unlimited reception of Ukrainian refugees will put a heavy burden on the economy. These problems come from BRICS members China and Russia, and if Europe works with BRICS, it will help solve the problems of the day.
Fifth, Director Cai Dongjie talks about the latest developments in the G7 from the US perspective. Director Tsai stated that the United States has been hegemonic since the beginning of the Cold War, and has used the system as a platform to set the role of the G7 according to the changing national interests. The G7 was created as a tool to sustain U.S. economic hegemony, but after 2008 China became a targeted rival to the U.S., the nature of the G7 was transformed into a tool of “alliance
Finally, I compare the two big groups with the talker Ambassador Wu Wenhua in terms of economic strength and structural characteristics. Ambassador Yao explained that the G7 are advanced countries of developed capitalism, and are quite integrated and cohesive, but relatively closed to the outside world. By contrast, the economic strength of BRICS is uneven, opposite to the G7 in all aspects. Its advantage lies in its open attitude to the outside world. If membership is expanded and internal cohesion is strengthened, it can have a high degree of consensus and statements on major international issues.

第三,賀凱主任從中國大陸觀點發表BRICS最新發展。賀主任表示,中國在BRICS採取一種「排他性制度制衡」戰略,欲藉此增強其在國際制度的聲音和實力。該集團缺乏凝聚團體的兩大要素—共同威脅與共同利益。儘管如此,BRICS亦具備兩個機遇—西方對金磚集團的態度與共同努力。BRICS之發展雖然會引起國際關係上競爭加劇,但制度制衡還是較軍事聯盟間之對抗「和平的」,有望促進國際秩序的漸進式轉型。

Although the development of BRICS will lead to increased competition in international relations, institutional checks and balances are "peaceful" than military alliances, and are expected to promote a progressive transformation of the international order.
Fourth, Director Zhuo Zhonghong spoke to the participants about the latest developments in the G7 from a European perspective. Director Zhuo dissects European issues on the main axis of this year's G7 summit. He explained that the biggest dilemma in Europe is to shift traditional security thinking to non-traditional security thinking. Russia used energy and food as weapons in the Russian-Ukraine war, even if the EU put out energy saving policies, it is still difficult to make up for the energy gap from Russia. Ukraine has a huge amount of food to be exported, and an estimated 330 million people will fall into hunger, leading to a resurgence of southern Mediterranean refugees. Europe's unlimited reception of Ukrainian refugees will put a heavy burden on the economy. These problems come from BRICS members China and Russia, and if Europe works with BRICS, it will help solve the problems of the day.
Fifth, Director Cai Dongjie talks about the latest developments in the G7 from the US perspective. Director Tsai stated that the United States has been hegemonic since the beginning of the Cold War, and has used the system as a platform to set the role of the G7 according to the changing national interests. The G7 was created as a tool to sustain U.S. economic hegemony, but after 2008 China became a targeted rival to the U.S., the nature of the G7 was transformed into a tool of “alliance
Finally, I compare the two big groups with the talker Ambassador Wu Wenhua in terms of economic strength and structural characteristics. Ambassador Yao explained that the G7 are advanced countries of developed capitalism, and are quite integrated and cohesive, but relatively closed to the outside world. By contrast, the economic strength of BRICS is uneven, opposite to the G7 in all aspects. Its advantage lies in its open attitude to the outside world. If membership is expanded and internal cohesion is strengthened, it can have a high degree of consensus and statements on major international issues.

淡江大學國際事務學院與對外關係協會(以下簡稱本會)於本(111)年7月27日上午共同舉辦「國際跨域合作伙伴平台的發展:七國集團與金磚Plus」線上研討會。
會議由前外交部長林永樂大使(本會創始會員)主持,淡江大學國際事務學院包正豪院長與本會令狐榮達副會長致詞,本會前副會長鄭文華大使擔任與談人。另邀請方天賜(國立清華大學通識中心副教授兼印度中心副主任、臺灣印度研究協會理事長)、黃富娟(淡江大學國際事務學院拉丁美洲研究所教授)、賀凱(澳洲格里菲斯大學Griffith University治理與公共政策中心主任、政府與國際關係系教授)、卓忠宏(淡江大學國際事務學院歐洲研究所所長)、蔡東杰(國立中興大學人文社會科學前瞻研究中心主任、國際政治研究所教授)等五位學者為發表人,以超越台灣的觀點探討七國集團(G7)與金磚國家集團(BRICS)的最新發展。
首先,方天賜教授從印度觀點談BRICS最新發展。方教授表示,BRICS集團具反西方色彩,成員為追求「多極化」的全球性大國。而印中關係在BRICS的未來發展扮演關鍵角色,但雙方自2020年的加萬河谷衝突後關係緊張,印度擔憂中國試圖主導BRICS。
第二,黃富娟教授從拉美觀點談BRICS最新發展。黃教授指出,巴西在BRICS的參與受到國內左右派政府外交政策落差和美中爭相拉攏影響。不過,拉美有望添增第二個BRICS成員—阿根廷,對成員之糧食和能源議題可有所貢獻。黃教授評估,BRICS國家之間因結構異質性,導致發展成緊密聯盟仍存在許多挑戰。
第三,賀凱主任從中國大陸觀點發表BRICS最新發展。賀主任表示,中國在BRICS採取一種「排他性制度制衡」戰略,欲藉此增強其在國際制度的聲音和實力。該集團缺乏凝聚團體的兩大要素—共同威脅與共同利益。儘管如此,BRICS亦具備兩個機遇—西方對金磚集團的態度與共同努力。BRICS之發展雖然會引起國際關係上競爭加劇,但制度制衡還是較軍事聯盟間之對抗「和平的」,有望促進國際秩序的漸進式轉型。
第四,卓忠宏所長向與會人從歐洲觀點談G7最新發展。卓所長就本年G7高峰會的主軸,剖析歐洲各項問題。他解釋,當前歐洲最大困境是:將傳統安全思維轉向非傳統安全思維。俄國在俄烏戰爭下以能源、糧食為武器,即便歐盟端出節約能源等政策,仍難彌補來自俄國的能源缺口。又烏克蘭有大量糧食無法出口,估計會有3.3億人陷入飢荒,進而導致南地中海難民再起。歐洲無限收容烏克蘭難民,將使經濟負擔沈重。此等問題皆源來自於BRICS成員中俄,倘若歐洲跟BRICS合作,將有助於解決現在的問題。
第五,蔡東杰主任從美國的觀點談G7最新發展。蔡主任闡述,美國從冷戰開始即為霸權,並透過制度作為平台實踐,依自國國家利益的轉變而設定G7的角色。G7的創立是為了持續美國經濟霸權的工具,但2008年後,中國大陸成為美國鎖定的對手,G7的性質方轉變為「同盟化」的工具。
最後,與談人鄭文華大使從經濟實力與結構特性來比較兩大集團。鄭大使說明,G7都是已開發資本主義的先進國家,且整合程度相當高、凝聚力強,但是對外相對封閉。相較之下,BRICS經濟實力參差不齊,在各面向都與G7相反,它的優勢在於對外持開放性的態度,如果擴大成員,並內部加強凝聚力,對重大國際議題有高度的共識和表態才能發揮更大的影響力。

⭐Press Release 】Online seminar on “International cross-domain partner platform development: G7 and Golden Eagle Plus”
The School of International Affairs of Tamjiang University and the Association for Foreign Relations (hereafter referred to as the Association) co-hosted the online seminar "Development of the International Cross-domain Partner Platform: G7 and Golden Eagle Plus" on the morning of July 27, 2017.
The meeting was hosted by former Foreign Minister Ambassador Lin Yongle (Founding Member of the Association). Dean Bao Zhenghao of the School of International Affairs of Tamjiang University and Vice President of the Association, Hu Rongda, delivered a speech. Ambassador Wu Wenhua, former Vice President of the Association, served as the speaker. Five scholars, including Fang Tianqi (Associate Professor of General Studies Center of National Tsinghua University and Deputy Director of India Center, Chairman of Taiwan Indian Studies Association), Huang Fu-chuan (Professor of Latin American Institute of International Affairs, School of International Affairs, Tanjiang University), Wu Kai (Director of the Center for Governance and Public Policy, Griffith University, Australia, Department of Government and International Relations), Zhuo Zhonghong (Director of the Institute of European Studies, School of International Affairs, Tanjiang University), Cai Dongjie (Director of the Institute of Humanities and Social Sciences, National Zhongxing University, Professor of International Political Studies), were invited to discuss the latest developments of the G7 and BRICS from
First of all, Professor Fang Tianqi talks about the latest developments in BRICS from an Indian perspective. Professor Fang said the BRICS group is anti-Western and its members are global powers pursuing "multipolarization". India-China relations play a key role in the future of BRICS, but tensions between the two sides have been strained since the 2020 Kavan Valley conflict, and India is concerned about China’s attempts to dominate BRICS
Second, Prof. Huang Fuqi talks about the latest developments in BRICS from a Latin American perspective. Professor Huang pointed out that Brazil's participation in BRICS is influenced by the foreign policy gap between the left and right governments at home and the US-China rivalry. However, Latin America is expected to add a second BRICS member - Argentina - to contribute to the food and energy issues of the membership. Professor Huang assesses that there are still many challenges to developing a close alliance between BRICS countries due to structural heterogeneity.
Third, Director Jiang Kai presented the latest development of BRICS from the perspective of mainland China. Director Jiang said China has adopted a strategy of "exclusive system checks and balances" at BRICS, which aims to strengthen its voice and strength in the international system. The group lacks the two elements that unite the group - common threat and common good. Nonetheless, BRICS has two opportunities - Western attitude towards the BRIC group and joint efforts. Although the development of BRICS will lead to increased competition in international relations, institutional checks and balances are "peaceful" than military alliances, and are expected to promote a progressive transformation of the international order.

The School of International Affairs of Tamjiang University and the Association for Foreign Relations (hereafter referred to as the Association) co-hosted the online seminar "Development of the International Cross-domain Partner Platform: G7 and Golden Eagle Plus" on the morning of July 27, 2017.
The meeting was hosted by former Foreign Minister Ambassador Lin Yongle (Founding Member of the Association). Dean Bao Zhenghao of the School of International Affairs of Tamjiang University and Vice President of the Association, Hu Rongda, delivered a speech. Ambassador Wu Wenhua, former Vice President of the Association, served as the speaker. Five scholars, including Fang Tianqi (Associate Professor of General Studies Center of National Tsinghua University and Deputy Director of India Center, Chairman of Taiwan Indian Studies Association), Huang Fu-chuan (Professor of Latin American Institute of International Affairs, School of International Affairs, Tanjiang University), Wu Kai (Director of the Center for Governance and Public Policy, Griffith University, Australia, Department of Government and International Relations), Zhuo Zhonghong (Director of the Institute of European Studies, School of International Affairs, Tanjiang University), Cai Dongjie (Director of the Institute of Humanities and Social Sciences, National Zhongxing University, Professor of International Political Studies), were invited to discuss the latest developments of the G7 and BRICS from
First of all, Professor Fang Tianqi talks about the latest developments in BRICS from an Indian perspective. Professor Fang said the BRICS group is anti-Western and its members are global powers pursuing "multipolarization". India-China relations play a key role in the future of BRICS, but tensions between the two sides have been strained since the 2020 Kavan Valley conflict, and India is concerned about China’s attempts to dominate BRICS
Second, Prof. Huang Fuqi talks about the latest developments in BRICS from a Latin American perspective. Professor Huang pointed out that Brazil's participation in BRICS is influenced by the foreign policy gap between the left and right governments at home and the US-China rivalry. However, Latin America is expected to add a second BRICS member - Argentina - to contribute to the food and energy issues of the membership. Professor Huang assesses that there are still many challenges to developing a close alliance between BRICS countries due to structural heterogeneity.
Third, Director Jiang Kai presented the latest development of BRICS from the perspective of mainland China. Director Jiang said China has adopted a strategy of "exclusive system checks and balances" at BRICS, which aims to strengthen its voice and strength in the international system. The group lacks the two elements that unite the group - common threat and common good. Nonetheless, BRICS has two opportunities - Western attitude towards the BRIC group and joint efforts. Although the development of BRICS will lead to increased competition in international relations, institutional checks and balances are "peaceful" than military alliances, and are expected to promote a progressive transformation of the international order.
Fourth, Director Zhuo Zhonghong spoke to the participants about the latest developments in the G7 from a European perspective. Director Zhuo dissects European issues on the main axis of this year's G7 summit. He explained that the biggest dilemma in Europe is to shift traditional security thinking to non-traditional security thinking. Russia used energy and food as weapons in the Russian-Ukraine war, even if the EU put out energy saving policies, it is still difficult to make up for the energy gap from Russia. Ukraine has a huge amount of food to be exported, and an estimated 330 million people will fall into hunger, leading to a resurgence of southern Mediterranean refugees. Europe's unlimited reception of Ukrainian refugees will put a heavy burden on the economy. These problems come from BRICS members China and Russia, and if Europe works with BRICS, it will help solve the problems of the day.
Fifth, Director Cai Dongjie talks about the latest developments in the G7 from the US perspective. Director Tsai stated that the United States has been hegemonic since the beginning of the Cold War, and has used the system as a platform to set the role of the G7 according to the changing national interests. The G7 was created as a tool to sustain U.S. economic hegemony, but after 2008 China became a targeted rival to the U.S., the nature of the G7 was transformed into a tool of “alliance
Finally, I compare the two big groups with the talker Ambassador Wu Wenhua in terms of economic strength and structural characteristics. Ambassador Yao explained that the G7 are advanced countries of developed capitalism, and are quite integrated and cohesive, but relatively closed to the outside world. By contrast, the economic strength of BRICS is uneven, opposite to the G7 in all aspects. Its advantage lies in its open attitude to the outside world. If membership is expanded and internal cohesion is strengthened, it can have a high degree of consensus and statements on major international issues.

⭐【新聞稿】「國際跨域合作伙伴平台的發展:七國集團與金磚Plus」線上研討會
淡江大學國際事務學院與對外關係協會(以下簡稱本會)於本(111)年7月27日上午共同舉辦「國際跨域合作伙伴平台的發展:七國集團與金磚Plus」線上研討會。
會議由前外交部長林永樂大使(本會創始會員)主持,淡江大學國際事務學院包正豪院長與本會令狐榮達副會長致詞,本會前副會長鄭文華大使擔任與談人。另邀請方天賜(國立清華大學通識中心副教授兼印度中心副主任、臺灣印度研究協會理事長)、黃富娟(淡江大學國際事務學院拉丁美洲研究所教授)、賀凱(澳洲格里菲斯大學Griffith University治理與公共政策中心主任、政府與國際關係系教授)、卓忠宏(淡江大學國際事務學院歐洲研究所所長)、蔡東杰(國立中興大學人文社會科學前瞻研究中心主任、國際政治研究所教授)等五位學者為發表人,以超越台灣的觀點探討七國集團(G7)與金磚國家集團(BRICS)的最新發展。
首先,方天賜教授從印度觀點談BRICS最新發展。方教授表示,BRICS集團具反西方色彩,成員為追求「多極化」的全球性大國。而印中關係在BRICS的未來發展扮演關鍵角色,但雙方自2020年的加萬河谷衝突後關係緊張,印度擔憂中國試圖主導BRICS。
第二,黃富娟教授從拉美觀點談BRICS最新發展。黃教授指出,巴西在BRICS的參與受到國內左右派政府外交政策落差和美中爭相拉攏影響。不過,拉美有望添增第二個BRICS成員—阿根廷,對成員之糧食和能源議題可有所貢獻。黃教授評估,BRICS國家之間因結構異質性,導致發展成緊密聯盟仍存在許多挑戰。
第三,賀凱主任從中國大陸觀點發表BRICS最新發展。賀主任表示,中國在BRICS採取一種「排他性制度制衡」戰略,欲藉此增強其在國際制度的聲音和實力。該集團缺乏凝聚團體的兩大要素—共同威脅與共同利益。儘管如此,BRICS亦具備兩個機遇—西方對金磚集團的態度與共同努力。BRICS之發展雖然會引起國際關係上競爭加劇,但制度制衡還是較軍事聯盟間之對抗「和平的」,有望促進國際秩序的漸進式轉型。
第四,卓忠宏所長向與會人從歐洲觀點談G7最新發展。卓所長就本年G7高峰會的主軸,剖析歐洲各項問題。他解釋,當前歐洲最大困境是:將傳統安全思維轉向非傳統安全思維。俄國在俄烏戰爭下以能源、糧食為武器,即便歐盟端出節約能源等政策,仍難彌補來自俄國的能源缺口。又烏克蘭有大量糧食無法出口,估計會有3.3億人陷入飢荒,進而導致南地中海難民再起。歐洲無限收容烏克蘭難民,將使經濟負擔沈重。此等問題皆源來自於BRICS成員中俄,倘若歐洲跟BRICS合作,將有助於解決現在的問題。
第五,蔡東杰主任從美國的觀點談G7最新發展。蔡主任闡述,美國從冷戰開始即為霸權,並透過制度作為平台實踐,依自國國家利益的轉變而設定G7的角色。G7的創立是為了持續美國經濟霸權的工具,但2008年後,中國大陸成為美國鎖定的對手,G7的性質方轉變為「同盟化」的工具。
最後,與談人鄭文華大使從經濟實力與結構特性來比較兩大集團。鄭大使說明,G7都是已開發資本主義的先進國家,且整合程度相當高、凝聚力強,但是對外相對封閉。相較之下,BRICS經濟實力參差不齊,在各面向都與G7相反,它的優勢在於對外持開放性的態度,如果擴大成員,並內部加強凝聚力,對重大國際議題有高度的共識和表態才能發揮更大的影響力。
