中文摘要

本文探討台灣大學生對亞洲認同之認知的演變，並聚焦於台灣新南向政策（NSP）的影響。本研究使用亞洲學生調查（ASS）資料，分析這些學生如何看待鄰近亞洲國家，尤其是新南向政策鎖定的國家。研究發現顯示，台灣學生將亞洲視為一個動態且多元的區域，但在教育與職涯機會上，傾向偏好西方國家或日本等已開發亞洲國家。研究也顯示，雖然新南向政策提升了台灣在部分東南亞國家的形象，但對改變台灣學生對這些國家的認知影響有限。本研究凸顯新南向政策在促進區域整合與相互理解上的戰略意義，強調以人民為中心的交流在形塑區域認同上的重要性。儘管此政策已有成果，本文指出仍需進一步努力，使台灣社會與更廣泛的亞洲區域建立更深層的連結，以充分實現區域合作與認同形成的潛力。

Abstract

This article explores the evolving perceptions of Asian identity among Taiwanese university students, focusing on the impact of Taiwan's New Southbound Policy (NSP). The study uses data from the Asian Student Survey (ASS) to analyze how these students perceive neighboring Asian countries, particularly those targeted by the NSP. The findings reveal that Taiwanese students view Asia as a dynamic and diverse region but tend to prefer Western countries or developed Asian nations like Japan for education and career opportunities. The research also shows that while the NSP has enhanced Taiwan's image in some Southeast Asian countries, it has had a limited impact on altering Taiwanese students' perceptions of these nations. The study highlights the strategic significance of the NSP in fostering regional integration and mutual understanding, emphasizing the importance of people-centered exchanges in shaping regional identities. Despite the policy's achievements, the article suggests that further efforts are needed to connect Taiwanese society more deeply with the broader Asian region to fully realize the potential of regional cooperation and identity formation.
