  • 本論文探討亞太經濟合作(APEC)成員經濟體內部的官僚政治如何影響亞太自由貿易區(Free Trade Area of the Asia-Pacific, FTAAP)作為區域經濟整合長期目標的持續性。儘管現有文獻主要聚焦於FTAAP的經濟可行性以及區域貿易協定的發展演進,但對於國內官僚運作如何促使此倡議得以持續推動的探討仍相對有限。
    本研究以官僚政治與外交政策模型(Bureaucratic politics and foreign policy model)為理論基礎,採用質性比較個案研究方法,分析墨西哥與秘魯兩個APEC成員經濟體,並結合APEC秘書處所提供的觀點進行研究。研究結果顯示,FTAAP的持續推動不僅受到經濟與地緣政治因素的影響,也受到成員經濟體內部的制度協調、官僚體系的延續性,以及跨機構決策機制等因素所共同塑造。
    本研究透過將官僚政治與外交政策模型延伸應用於區域經濟整合與多邊治理的分析,對相關文獻作出貢獻,並提供來自兩個拉丁美洲APEC成員經濟體的新實證證據。


    This research examines how bureaucratic politics within APEC member economies influence the persistence of the Free Trade Area of the Asia-Pacific (FTAAP) as a long-term objective of regional economic integration. Although existing literature has primarily focused on the FTAAP's economic feasibility and the evolution of regional trade agreements, scholars have paid limited attention to how domestic bureaucratic processes sustain this initiative.
    Based on the bureaucratic politics and foreign policy model, this research employs a qualitative comparative case study of Mexico and Peru, as well as the insights of the APEC Secretariat. The findings show that the persistence of the FTAAP is shaped not only by economic and geopolitical considerations but also by institutional coordination, bureaucratic continuity, and inter-institutional decision-making within member economies.
    This study contributes to the literature by extending the application of the bureaucratic politics and foreign policy model to the analysis of regional economic integration and multilateral governance, while providing new empirical evidence from two Latin American APEC member economies.
