The political task, though, has to some extent been taken over by the G20, in whose creationMr Rudd played a role, helping to ensure that it was not confined to just 14 countries. This isthe natural forum for a middle-ranking power, such as Australia, with global as well as regionalinterests. Australia, remember, has sent its troops to fight in wars from South Africa toVietnam. Nowadays they go to Iraq and Afghanistan. It is clearly right that it should have aplace among democracies of a certain economic weight, such as Canada, Mexico, South Koreaand Turkey.
不过,这一政治任务却在某种程度上已被二十国集团接手承担,陆克文在后者的创建中也发挥了作用,他帮助确保该组织并不仅限于14个国家。对于类似澳大利亚这样一个既具有地区利益,也拥有全球利益的中等强国而言,二十国集团是一个天然论坛。请记住一点:从南非到越南,澳大利亚都曾出兵参战,如今,澳军则前往伊拉克和阿富汗作战。澳大利亚应当在诸如加拿大、墨西哥、韩国以及土耳其等具有一定经济分量的民主国家中占据一席之地,这一点显然并无不当之处。
