Abstract:

As competition among major powers in the Indo-Pacific region intensifies, driven by their own strategic objectives and Indo-Pacific demands, and influenced by China's increasing influence in the Indo-Pacific and the external pressure of the US Indo-Pacific "Alliances and Partnership", France and Australia are gradually engaging in Indo-Pacific security cooperation. The Indo-Pacific security cooperation between France and Australia is characterized by increasingly sophisticated mechanisms, continuously improving military integration, rising importance of non-traditional security cooperation, and the sinking of cooperation levels to "sub-regional" levels. Indo-Pacific security cooperation to some extent restores bilateral relations between France and Australia and lays the foundation for deepening regional coordination in the Indo-Pacific for both countries. However, the security cooperation between the two countries will still face internal challenges such as the difficulty of rebuilding strategic mutual trust, differences in strategic demands and strategic priorities, as well as external pressures that hinder cooperation due to different relationships with the Indo-Pacific "Alliances and Partnership" system. Overall, France and Australia deepening Indo-Pacific security cooperation will strengthen the United States' Indo-Pacific alliance system, exacerbate the complexity and uncertainty of the Indo-Pacific security situation, and thereby pose challenges to China's national interests and regional security.

Key words: France, Australia, Indo-Pacific, security cooperation, Franco-Australian cooperation

摘要：

随着印太地区大国博弈日益激烈，基于自身战略目标与印太诉求的内部驱动，以及受中国印太影响力上升与美国构建印太“盟伴”体系的外部影响，法国与澳大利亚逐步开展印太安全合作。法澳印太安全合作呈现出机制日臻完善、军事一体化程度不断提升、非传统安全合作重要性不断上升以及合作层级向“次区域”下沉的特征。印太安全合作在一定程度上修复了法澳双边关系，为两国深化印太区域协调奠定了基础。但两国安全合作仍将面临战略互信难以重建、战略诉求与战略重心存在差异等内部挑战，以及因两国与印太盟伴体系的关系不同而导致合作受阻的外部压力。总体而言，法澳深化印太安全合作将强化美国的印太盟伴体系，加剧印太安全形势的复杂性与不确定性，进而对中国的国家利益与周边安全带来挑战。
