摘要 在學術上，城市外交的歷史可追朔至二次大戰期間的姊妹市活動，臺灣的城市外交亦自1960年代起相當繁盛，然而相關的研究卻是相當有限，因此，本論文嘗試藉由探討臺灣最大的直轄市－新北市的城市外交彌補此議題在學術上的匱乏。城市外交的起源及其應用將作為探討本議題的重要基礎，本論文分析了新北市的雙邊城市對城市的交流、多邊城市參與的國際組織，並更進一步從法律及政治的觀點討論該市的成就與挑戰。研究結果顯示，新北市的城市外交聚焦在教育及文化領域的交流活動。同時，該市亦面臨著許多困難，除了臺灣外交困境所造成的限制外，法律及政治方面的侷限，例如區姊妹市的法律困境及兩岸城市交流的政治議題等均是新北市所面臨的挑戰。
The history of city diplomacy discussed extensively in the academic community can be traced back to the town-twinning initiatives and sister-city movements after the end of WWII. City diplomacy in Taiwan has been flourishing since the 1960s; however, academic research on the topic is relatively new and few. This thesis attempted initiating this topic through a case study of New Taipei City (NTC), the largest city in Taiwan to make up academic inadequacies. The origin and implementation of city diplomacy was probed as an important basis for exploring the topic. The thesis analyzed NTC’s bilateral city-to-city exchanges and multilateral city-based international organizations participation and further discussed the city’s achievements and challenges from the legal and political perspective. The research findings revealed that the achievements of city diplomacy in NTC mainly focused on the fields of education and culture. At the same time, the city encountered various difficulties, in addition to the internal and external limitations due to Taiwan’s diplomatic difficulties, legal and political restrictions, such as dilemma of sister cities at district level and political issue on cross-strait intercity exchanges are challenges that NTC faced with.
