摘要法国已经成为一个在印度-太平洋地区雄心勃勃的国家。它在印度-太平洋地区拥有广阔的领土，人口和经济利益，需要对该地区采取连贯的国家安全政策。甚至在印度-太平洋战略颁布之前，法国就已经参与了亚洲海事，主要是通过国防销售。不断变化的力量平衡重新引起了欧洲对印度-太平洋地区的关注，法国在那里留下了自己的印记。本文研究了法国印度-太平洋战略的驱动因素，并进一步了解导致法国关注该地区的基本因素。仔细研究一下法国所有主要的政策文章，就能勾勒出巴黎的战略思路。本文简要介绍了法国的双边和多边参与。虽然传统和非传统安全问题以及规范性驱动力在公共话语中显而易见，但很明显，主要驱动力是法国的军事工业复合体和能够影响区域秩序的愿望。
ABSTRACT France has emerged as a country with ambitions in the Indo-Pacific. It has vast territories, population and economic interests in the Indo-Pacific which necessitate a coherent national security policy towards this region. Even before the promulgation of its Indo-Pacific strategy, France has been involved in maritime Asia, primarily through defence sales. The changing balance of power has renewed European attention towards the Indo-Pacific wherein France is making its mark. This article studies the drivers of the French Indo-Pacific strategy and goes further to understand the fundamentals that have led to French attention to this region. A careful study of all major French policy articles lays out the strategic thinking in Paris. The article briefly presents bilateral and multilateral engagements of France. While traditional and non-traditional security issues and normative drive are apparent in the public discourse, it is clear that the major drivers are France's military–industrial complex and the desire to be able to influence the regional order.
