| Abstract: | 小國於國際政治中的新興角色,與⻄方國際關係哲學家認定的哲學基礎截然不同。以歷史而言,主流國際關係辯論不適用於後殖⺠國家,且其低估了後殖⺠國家的概念能力(ideational capabilities ),甚而不肯認他們具備參與安理會制定全球決策的機會。然而,聖文森及格瑞那丁卻被選為聯合國安理會的成員,這樣的情況與上述的論述或結構相悖。儘管有大量研究致力於探討聯合國安理會選舉後各國的參與,但很少有研究試圖探究小國在取得安理會席位前所採取的策略。
聖文森及格瑞那丁成為聯合國安理會最小的國家成為本文研究的契機。本研究將探討此一小國是如何實現該壯舉的?其獲得席位的策略是什麼?本研究將針對聖文森及格瑞那丁,為當選聯合國安理會成員而使用的策略進行質性分析,且筆者認為聖文森及格瑞那丁能夠通過以下方式實現此目標:在競選活動仍在進行的初期階段獲得區域的支持、與聯合國大會成員簽訂互惠協議、總理職務的對外延伸、遵守聯合國原則,並在其宣布競選之前以各種領導能力發揮作用。本文將以社會建構主義,探討一個物質力量薄弱的小國,如何利用其身份與外交政策立場構思策略,以實現此一壯舉。
The emergent role of the small state in international politics is distinctly antithetical to the philosophical underpinnings of all that Western International Relations philosophers had
destined it to be. Mainstream international relations debates have historically been unaccommodating to post-colonial states, underestimating their ideational capabilities and withholding from them the opportunity to be seated at the inner sanctums of global policy-making. Saint Vincent and the Grenadines’s experience in achieving the privilege of being
voted onto the United Nations Security Council, flies in the face of this narrative/construct. So while a significant amount of research has been dedicated towards countries’ involvement in the United Nations Security Council post-election, very few have sought to interrogate the steps
taken by Small States to achieve such a position. Certainly, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines’s admission to the UNSC as the smallest country ever to have been elected, provides basis for research to take place. How did this tiny country manage to accomplish this feat? What were the strategies used to acquire such as a seat? This research provides a qualitative analysis of the strategies used by Saint Vincent and the Grenadines in order to be elected to the UNSC, by arguing that Saint Vincent and the Grenadines was able to accomplish this goal by: securing regional endorsement when the campaign was still in its nascent stages; entering into reciprocal agreements with members of the United Nations General Assembly; having prime ministerial outreach; maintaining a principled UN approach; and by functioning in various leadership capacities prior to its announcement to run. It draws from the theory of social constructivism to explore how a tiny country without material might was able to use its identity and foreign policy stance to formulate ideas to achieve such a feat. |
