Abstract:

Turkey spans Eurasia, with unique geographical and geopolitical advantages. Based on its own needs and the basis of transportation, combined with the international environment, Turkey put forward the "Middle Corridor" initiative, aiming to fully play the hub function in transnational transportation and international trade between Eastern and Western Eurasia, and improve influences of regional powers. the "Middle Corridor" initiative not only reflects Turkey's strategic choices and interests, but also has potential geopolitical influence on the surrounding regions and countries. the "Middle Corridor" initiative further strengthens the political alliance between Turkey, Azerbaijan, Georgia and other countries, and further "isolate" Armenia; There may be an impact on Russia’s transportation and geopolitical advantages. The impacts on Central Asia is multidimensional, with both positive and potential risks. China needs to fully understand and evaluate each other’s strategic appeals and interest’s layout, as well as cultural and historical differences, seek common ground while reserving differences, seek interest settlement points, and avoid potential geopolitical risks according to changes in the current situation.

Key words: Turkey, middle corridor, international corridor, geopolitics

摘要:

土耳其地跨欧亚大陆,具有独特的区位和地缘政治优势。土耳其立足自身需求和交通基础,提出“中间走廊”倡议,旨在欧亚大陆跨国运输和经贸往来中充分发挥枢纽功能,提升区域大国影响力,“中间走廊”倡议对周边地区和国家具有潜在的地缘政治影响。“中间走廊”倡议进一步强化土耳其、阿塞拜疆、格鲁吉亚等国之间的政治联盟关系,存在孤立亚美尼亚嫌疑,对俄罗斯的交通区位优势和地缘政治影响力有一定的冲击;对中亚地区的影响具有多维性,既有积极因素,也有潜在风险。在欧亚大陆互联互通层面,“一带一路”倡议与“中间走廊”倡议存在合作基础,二者战略对接过程中,中国需要根据时局变化,充分认识和评估彼此的战略诉求和利益布局,以及文化和历史差异,求同存异,寻求利益契合点,规避潜在的地缘政治风险。
