中文摘要

台灣在美中大國競爭的經濟面向中占有關鍵位置，其重要性在於維繫全球供應鏈運作所需的貨物、能源與科技流動，並影響印太地區的權力平衡。本文主張，台灣的經濟穩定對於維持支撐美國及其盟友相對能力的關鍵網絡至為重要。本文透過貿易資料與政策分析，檢視糧食、能源與半導體三個關鍵部門，說明台灣周邊若發生擾動，可能引發更廣泛的全球經濟不穩定。本文也探討台灣如何成為美國主導之強化供應鏈韌性與科技合作倡議中的積極參與者。研究發現，台灣在全球經濟體系中的角色兼具實務與戰略意義；其穩定不僅支撐區域繁榮，也影響民主夥伴回應中國擴張影響力的能力。本文透過連結物質相互依賴與戰略行為，有助於理解二十一世紀經濟網絡如何形塑大國競爭。

Abstract

Taiwan occupies a pivotal position in the economic dimension of great power rivalry between the United States and China. Its importance lies in sustaining the movement of goods, energy, and technology that keep global supply chains running and shape the balance of power in the Indo-Pacific. This study argues that Taiwan's economic stability is essential for maintaining access to critical networks that support the relative capabilities of the United States and its allies. Using trade data and policy analysis, it examines three key sectors, namely food, energy, and semiconductors, to show how disruptions around Taiwan could trigger wider global economic instability. It also explores how Taiwan has become an active participant in US-led initiatives to strengthen supply chain resilience and technological cooperation. The findings reveal that Taiwan's role in global economic systems is both practical and strategic. Its stability underpins not only regional prosperity but also the ability of democratic partners to respond to China's expanding influence. By linking material interdependence with strategic behaviour, this study contributes to understanding how economic networks shape great power rivalry in the twenty-first century.
