摘要
2020年7月20日,欧盟发起了关于北极政策发展方向的公众咨询活动。面对新的挑战与机遇,此次磋商将促使人们对欧盟北极政策进行反思。由于地理与历史等多方面的独特联系,欧盟成为北极事务的重要利益攸关方。自2007年以来,欧盟相关机构陆续发布了关于北极事务的政策文件。其中,2008年的《欧盟与北极地区》、2012年的《欧盟的北极政策:2008年及未来规划》和2016年的《欧盟综合北极政策建议》最为清晰地梳理并阐释了其立场与主张。在连续的政策调整与更新之后,欧盟在其政策内容、政策立场与政策重点的确立与发展方面均获得了明显进展,但同时也存在着些许缺陷。事实上,欧盟的北极政策将有助于其在事务繁多的环境下保持对北极问题的持续关注。它也是实现欧盟气候政策、对外关系以及促进可持续经济和创新发展等目标的另一种途径。作为一个具有政治与经济影响力的庞大实体组织,欧盟的北极外交及其策略设计值得关注。
The consultation on the future of the EU’s Arctic policy,launched on July 20, 2020, will prompt a policy review in the face of new challenges and opportunities. The EU is an important stakeholder in Arctic affairs due to its unique geographical and historical ties. EU institutions have begun to issue their policy documents on Arctic affairs since 2007. Among them, “The European Union and the Arctic Region” issued by the European Commission in 2008, the “Developing a European Union Policy towards the Arctic Region: Progress since 2008 and Next Steps” and “An Integrated European Union Policy for the Arctic” jointly issued by the European Commission and the EEAS in 2012 and 2016, most clearly explain the EU propositions in the Arctic. After successive policy adjustments and updates, EU has made considerable progress in establishing and developing its policies, positions and priorities, but there are some shortcomings. In fact, the EU’s Arctic policy will help maintain its sustained focus on Arctic issues in the context of EU affairs, and it is also a way to achieve the boarder goals of EU climate policy, external relations, as well as the promotion of sustainable economic and innovative development. As a huge entity with political and economic influence, EU’s Arctic diplomacy and its strategic design deserve our attention.
