旧秩序瓦解 小国如何突围？ Singapore's foreign policy in uncertain times

随着二战后以规则为导向的国际秩序逐渐削弱，全球经济的相互依赖甚至开始被武器化，国际局势正变得更加错综复杂与不可预测。同时，美国和以色列对伊朗的打击引发了中东冲突，不仅直接冲击了全球能源市场，也让多国的生存环境与经济面临严峻考验。

面对这个巨大且无法逆转的大环境变化，高度依赖开放贸易的新加坡也必须重新寻找航向。为此，新加坡政府积极拓展朋友圈，并不断提升与中国、日本和韩国等东北亚主要国家的战略与前瞻性合作伙伴关系。

在大国利益频频发生摩擦的背景下，新加坡未来的外交处境会有多困难？面对充满不确定性的新局势，新加坡又要如何做好准备勇往直前？

这期的早报播客《东谈西论》，听主持人韩咏红与外交部兼内政部高级政务部长沈颖为您详细解析。

But how hard will Singapore’s balancing act become as great-power rivalry intensifies, and how is it preparing for a more unpredictable world?
