摘要在中美地缘政治与技术竞争(地缘技术竞争)中,英国同时与中美保持紧密合作关系,为双方提供人才、技术、资金和市场等稀缺资源,但中国针对英国顶尖智库在中美地缘技术竞争中的观点研究是缺失的。为此,本文收集、梳理和分析了2017—2024年间英国顶尖智库在其官网的在线评论,系统呈现其在美国特朗普政府第一任期和拜登政府时期的观点。研究发现:查塔姆研究所(Chatham House)、国际战略研究所(The International Institute for Strategic Studies,IISS)、皇家联合军事研究所(Royal United Service Institute,RUSI)高度关切“供应链”“总体安全”“盟友”“全球治理”等议题,且智库与学界关注度基本相似。本文做出了如下学术贡献:构建特朗普政府第一任期(2017—2021年)和拜登政府(2021—2024年)时期英国顶尖智库核心观点集合,揭示其论述倾向与焦点议题的演进脉络,进而研判其潜在的政策取向,以期为中国的对外策略与科技决策提供学理依据与信息参考。
Abstract:In the context of China-U.S. geo-political and technological competition(geo-technological competition),the UK maintains close cooperative relationships with both China and the US,providing scarce resources such as talents,technologies,capital,and markets to both sides.Study at home on the views of leading British think tanks regarding China-U.S. geo-technological competition is absent.Therefore,this paper collects,organizes,and analyzes online commentaries from the offical websites of UK first-class think tanks between 2017 and 2024,presenting systematically their views during the first term of the Trump Administration and the Biden Administration.The study finds that Chatham House,the International Institute for Strategic Studies(IISS),and the Royal United Services Institute(RUSI)are highly concerned with issues such as supply chains,overall security,alliances and global governance.And the focuses of think tanks and the academic community are essentially similar.This paper makes the following academic contributions:it constructs a collection of core viewpoints from top British think tanks during the first term of the Trump administration(2017-2021)and the Biden administration(2021-2024),revealing the evolution of their discursive tendencies and focal issues,thereby assessing their potential policy orientations.The aim is to provide theoretical foundations and informational references for China's foreign strategy and technological decision-making.
