Abstract

Abstract:

The geographical features of closing to Asia and facing the ocean on three sides have had a direct impact on Australia's Asian geopolitical cognition. Several geographical views with notable time characteristics, such as "Far East", "Near North", "Asia-Pacific" and "Indo-Pacific", have been generated. There are many reasons for Australia's continuous reconstruction of Asia's geopolitical cognition, and the structural factors such as culture and geography, economy and security, strength and ambition are particularly significant, which present the evolution logic of Australia's geopolitical cognition of Asia. What is more noteworthy is that security has always dominated Australia's geopolitical cognition of Asia, which has been manifested in pan-security demands such as cultural security, economic security, and national defense security at different times. Wrong security perception has caused Australia's geopolitical security problems, and establishing a correct security concept can help Australia coordinate relations with Asian countries and relieve Australia's security dilemma.

Key words: geopolitics, Australia, Asia, Indo-Pacific, safety cognition

摘要：

紧邻亚洲、三面环洋的地理特征对澳大利亚的亚洲地缘认知产生了直接影响，先后形成“远东”“近北”“亚太”“印太”等几种具有鲜明时代特征的地缘观。澳大利亚不断重塑对亚洲地缘认知的原因是多方面的，其中文化与地理、经济与安全、实力与野心等成对因素引发的结构性矛盾尤为显著，集中体现了澳大利亚对亚洲地缘认知的演进逻辑。更值得关注的是，安全一直主导着澳大利亚对亚洲的地缘认知，不同时期表现为文化安全、经济安全、国防安全等泛安全诉求。错误的安全认知造成了澳大利亚的地缘安全问题，树立正确的安全观才能有助于其协调与亚洲国家关系，破解安全困境。

关键词: 地缘政治, 澳大利亚, 亚洲, 印太, 安全认知
