中小型國家在當前國際體系下的數目眾多，這些國家有各自國家利益與偏好，因此理解這群國家的策略選擇可以更全面地了解國際關係發展。本文研究設計有以下幾個特色：第一，本文以歐洲的中小型國家為個案研究標的，擇立陶宛、匈牙利與土耳其三國進行分析，這三國分別位於當前東／西歐對立環境的最前沿，透過觀察這些國家可理解地緣斷層帶上中小型國家面對歐、俄強權競爭時的策略選擇。第二，由於中國近年不斷向歐洲拋射影響力，歐洲國家明顯感受到中國政策影響，歐洲的中小型國家傳統上面對歐／俄兩強環境已出現變化，由於中國不斷崛..

Small and medium-sized states constitute a substantial portion of the contemporary international system. These states possess distinct national interests and preferences; hence, examining their strategic choices provides a more nuanced understanding of the dynamics of international relations.

These countries are situated on the geopolitical frontlines of the current East..

However, after the end of the Cold War, bipolar confrontation of great powers no longer existed, attentions began to turn to small states in the realm of international relations. The author argues that, with the help of proper design of methodological approach, the extent of small states’ external..
