印巴關係一直是南亞區域安全的焦點，而印巴自兩國獨立之後就擺盪在戰爭與和談之間，長久以來對喀什米爾(Kashmir)主權的認知無法達成共 識。本文的論點是，「安全困境」(security dilemma)不一定是印巴關係的宿命。兩國之間的戰或和，多半取決於主要決策者在面對國內各利益團體及國際的壓力時，基於維持權力的目的，做出決策所造成的結果。本文將以 1998-2004 年期間印巴和平進程為例，探討印巴兩國在國際、國內環境及領導利益等因素影響之下所做的決策，如..

第二次世界大戰之後，現代南亞研究開始現身於美國學界，儘管其受到區域研究跨學科典範的影響，但卻仍未能完全擺脫東方學和印度學所積累下來的濃厚古典主義色彩，並在幾所領銜區域研究的重點大學院校中，形成獨樹一格的南亞研究傳統，著重於非功利取向的人文式理解;唯在受到一系列知識性與制度性的質疑和挑戰之後，隨著區域研究本身面臨學科紀律的重組與反省，過去對於南亞問題的研究視野，也開始出現許多檢討與轉變。在本文的討論中，我們便將透過南亞研究在美國學界發展軌跡的回顧與檢討，描繪區..

冷戰的結束為全球國際情勢創造了新的現況，「安全」的意義不再只是狹義的以「國家」為「安全」的唯一適用單位，「人類安全」概念在這樣的背景下出現。唯「人類安全」指的是「誰的」安全? 針對此一問題，本文從移民議題與人類安全概念的相容性切入，探討人類安全概念在移民議題上之適用性。文章進而專注於歐盟對人類安全概念之論述，並以近年非洲企圖渡海抵達歐洲之移民情況為個案來評估歐盟將人類安全付諸實踐之情況。結論指出，「人類安全」之思維既已得到歐盟支持認同，則那些鋌而走險企圖尋求較好生活環境的非法移民在跨海過..
