英文摘要
By analysing three case studies—Singapore, Cambodia and Myanmar—this article investigates health security partnerships formed by Southeast Asian countries during the COVID-19 pandemic, focusing on their responses to China and India’s vaccine diplomacy. It argues that a combination of factors—the capability of national governments in responding to the pandemic and the cost of doing so, as well as the credibility of vaccines and geopolitical relationships with potential partners—led to a divergence in partnerships. Singapore did not rely on Chinese vaccine donations but its acceptance of assistance from China was a diplomatic move to maintain a balanced policy amidst the United States-China strategic rivalry. In contrast, Cambodia and Myanmar were obliged to partner with either China or India due to their limited capacity to manage the crisis as well as their lack of financial resources and access to top-tier vaccines. Geopolitics also played a role. China became a leading partner for Cambodia due to the strong strategic relationship they had formed before the pandemic, while the governments of Myanmar—before and after the military coup in February 2021—based their partnerships on varying political and geopolitical considerations.
中文摘要
透過分析新加坡、柬埔寨和緬甸三個案例,本研究論文探討了東南亞國家在COVID-19大流行期間形成的健康安全夥伴關係,著重關注它們對中國和印度的疫苗外交的回應。本文認為,多種因素的結合—包括國家政府應對大流行的能力和成本,以及疫苗的可信度和與潛在夥伴的地緣政治關係—導致了夥伴關係的差異。新加坡並未依賴中國的疫苗捐贈,但接受中國的援助是一個外交舉措,以在美中戰略競爭的背景下維持平衡的政策。相反,柬埔寨和緬甸由於應對危機的能力有限,缺乏財力和獲取頂級疫苗的途徑,被迫與中國或印度合作。地緣政治也發揮了一定作用。由於在大流行前已經形成了強大的戰略關係,中國成為柬埔寨的主要合作夥伴,而緬甸政府—在2021年2月的軍事政變之前和之後—則基於各種政治和地緣政治考慮來選擇其合作夥伴。
