内容简介：
讲座主要聚焦像马其顿一样的小国（包括极小国）的外交政策发展。首先，讲座将简要回顾北马其顿在国际关系中的地位、在获得国际承认方面遇到的最大困难以及不惜一切代价加入北约和欧盟的努力。在一味“朝向西方”的同时，北马其顿国家领导层完全忽视了不断变化的国际秩序和地区背景。在2020年3月北马其顿成为北约正式成员国的那一刻，巴尔干地区已经变成了一个多极的微观世界，军备竞赛正在进行。讲座的第三部分将把注意力转向摇摆不定的中北马双边关系以及被证明是“文盲”的北马其顿精英们在小国外交政策上没有充分利用好的一些机会。
The main focus of the lecture is on the development of the foreign policy of a small (Lilliputian) state such as Macedonia (1991-2020). At the beginning, there will be a short historical overview of Macedonia’s position in the international relations and its paramount troubles in gaining international recognition as well as its efforts to get accession into NATO and EU at any cost. While exclusively “looking to the West”, the state leadership has totally neglected the changing international order and regional context. At the moment it became a full NATO member state (in March 2020), the Balkan region had already transformed into a multipolar microcosm with an ongoing arms race. The third part of the lecture will turn the attention to the wavering Sino-Macedonian bilateral relations and the chances not used by the Macedonian elites that proved to be ‘illiterate’ when it comes to the foreign policy of small states.
